Let's start right from the beginning, H1.
In Ancient Hebrew, the Aleph depicts an ox head. The Greeks took the Aleph-Bet, and inverted the otiot, turned them upside down, and wrote them backwards, which evolved into our modern alphabet.
The modern inverted aleph gives us the letter A. It still depicts an ox head, only turned upside down. To this day, it still represents the "A" sound, as in "Aleph;" Yet the rules of Modern Hebrew say that Aleph is silent; and that by adding niqqud to Yah's word; we can make it say whatever we want.
Each ote has a meaning unto itself. Thereby the meaning of his word remains, for those who seek to understand it.
Again Aleph depicts an ox head. It can be interpreted as headship or strength.
The Bet depicts a tent or a house. (As a side note the niqqud sometimes render B as a V; and there was no V sound in Ancient Hebrew.)
AB can be interpreted as the head of the house, or father.
For starters, any אות Symbol bearing a depiction of any Beast (such as an Ox, Camel, Serpent, etc.), is in direct violation of Torah, see Deut. 4
Secondly, the Ancient Hebrew Language is a Pidgin Language having No fixed Spelling or Pronunciation as found in what we refer to as a Formal Language, the Masorete knew this to be true, but the ruling class wanted everyone to be on the same page, presenting themselves as the agents sent to fulfill Zephaniah 3, and have us all קרא Calling on/Reading the Name (of Yahuah with one Consent;
And it was they (the ruling class) that chose the knowledge of One Masorete, not Two or Three, and with his knowledge they (the ruling class) Fixed the punctuation of the Torah, so that it would influence everyone to read the diverse Torah (only) one way, inadvertently veiling the natural diversity of the language;
No one had a monopoly on the original language, so to say there was no V, J. or Vowels only shows the extent of one's limited knowledge, for the Pidgin Hebrew Tongue incorporated all of these features, and it was not only Segregation and Prejudice that the House was divided, 70 years of captivity in foreign cultures literally tore the native tongue into shreds, leaving here a little and there a little, just enough for us to repair the breach.
Thirdly, the so called Aleph Bet, is a Greek influenced invention, the Hebrew Alphabet is referred to as the Aleph Ū Tau, which spells אות Symbols, and yet if punctuated just so, it could actually enunciate, Aleph-Vet;
Otherwise א Aleph represents the only pure (unstressed) Vowel sound, i.e., the schwa sound, it is the 'a' in Adobe, 'e' in The, 'i' in Accident, 'o' in Abbott, and the 'u' in Butt;
Otherwise א Aleph also represents the consonantal Glottal stop, producing an abrupt stop, or enunciating what our ear and mind perceives to be the (unarticulated) 'T' sound found in the word 'Alphabet'.
It is only their ignorance and or inability to explain this that they say it is unexpressed or not represented in English, for those whom others look unto for answers cannot say, I don't know!, people will begin to look elsewhere:
I assure you they were not trying to hide the truth, one would first need to be in possession of the Truth before they could deliberately attempt that feat, and yet as promised, knowledge has been increased.
When the א is found in the Torah prefixed to a word it equates to a truncation of אני and or אנוכי lit., 'I' yet variously renders אהיה I am, I have, and I will/shall, depending on the context, whereas the word 'I' literally means, 'The Person Speaking (or writing)' ,
