Kuf

The letter Kuf

The single letter kuf or Kof is the nineteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The glyph shape suggests that it was originally depicting the eye of a needle 𐤒. By itself today it appears as ק .

The Kuf is said to mean "Omnipresence" and may be used in reference to "Redemption of Fallen Sparks". It is the paradoxical union Reish and a Zayin suggesting the holiness or separateness of the omnipresence of God. Its numerical value is ten times ten or 100. Could be seen as a cord and needle 𐤒 or the back of the head and neck or even as the last or least. Pronunciation can very from Kuf to Kof or Qoph to Kiss.

ק Kuf or Kof Omnipresence - Redemption of Fallen Sparks The paradoxical union Reish and a Zayin holiness or separateness omnipresence of God [Cord and needle 𐤒 ... back of head neck... the last or least] (Numeric value: 100)

Double Kuf

The double Kuf קק appears in the word cḥuqaq^[1] but seems to always include additional letters that sometimes even replaces one of the Kufs. The question may arise as to the double kuf being added for a similar purpose of expressing the need for something to be in existence as spirit and truth.

Since the word cḥuqaq^[1] is defined as cutout or engrave then it would follow that a Double Kuf suggest that it is a reference to writing something in two places such as writing upon the heart and upon the mind.
