I’m thrilled to share that we’ve reached the final chapter in the Eberith Vocabulary Series! Book 18 is now available, and it covers the last two letters of the Eberith Alef-Beth: Shin and Tau.

When I began this series, I had no idea how deeply each letter would speak—not just in language, but in spirit. These final two letters are especially meaningful, and I’d love to share a bit about them with you.

 

Shin  — The Consuming Tooth

  • Sound: “S”

  • Number: 300

  • Paleo Hebrew Symbol:  tooth 

The letter Shin represents strength, sharpness, and the act of consuming or destroying. It’s full of movement and imagery.

Shin means:  

  • Tooth

  • Destroy

  • Eat / Consume

  • Point of a Rock

Words using Shin: 

  • Shabbath – Sabbath

  • Shophar – Trumpet

  • Shalom – Peace

Tau  — The Mark of Covenant

  • Sound: “TH”

  • Number: 400

  • Paleo Hebrew Symbol: A mark or cross

Tau often appears at the end of things, and it’s fitting that it completes our series. It represents agreement, sealing, and sacred connection.

Tau means: 

  • Mark

  • Sign or Seal

  • To Join

  • Covenant

Words using Tau: 

  • Tebah – Box or Ark

  • Torah – Law, Instruction

  • Telaah – Hardship, Weariness
