How to read this room.

Start with a letter’s name and glyph, then open its full Babylon lesson. Mothers, Doubles and Simples are family classifications; a Tree path, planetary correspondence and Heart room answer different questions. These definitions identify the vocabulary used here without claiming that every Jewish edition or later symbolic tradition adopts the same table.

Short definitions open a topic; the linked studies develop the passages and Babylon’s authored interpretation.
