Introduction

The painting symbolies a synthesis between the world!s "reation as a design o# a letter $ot% a set

AEIOU o# &owels% an alphabet and a written script.

Espe"ially the old German '(rrent s"ript re&eals a set o# handwriting letters% whi"h may ha&e

grown #rom m(ltiple and &ariable e)tending one letter *$ot+, The basi" prin"iple probably may ha&e

 been deri&ed #rom -ebrew s"ript(re and the designers o# the old German '(rrent s"ript m(st ha&e

 been s"holars in an"ient literat(re and writing,

Symbolizing the Fall of Mankind 

At elementary s"hool in Eindho&en in 184 a 9atholi" tea"her ordered the "hildren to draw male

 persons *$es(s% Adam : God+ in red  "olors and #emale persons *E&e and the &irgin ;ary+ in blue2,

A#ter the Fall o# $an the "o(ple had to be drawn in  purple% the "olor whi"h in <(t"h is named

started oil3paintings,,,

Understanding Genesis as a Vowel Generating Process

I (nderstood the &owels as the #(ndamentals #rom whi"h > starting #or the &owel $ot 3 the "reation

had been started, 5or some strange reason the A(strian tea"her started the handwriting "o(rse with

the &owel I and similar letters *s("h as e% (% n and m+% and later the &owel s(bset AEIOU, The had

 been e)"l(ded and introd("ed at a slightly later stage,

Short introduction in the old German cursive alphabet

The #ormer German "(rsi&e alphabet "onsists a rather "l(msy set o# letters% whi"h "a(se

"onsiderable di##i"(lties in dis"erning the "(rsi&ely written stro.es in the "hara"ters i* * n* %* c* e*

ei and e, This pe"(liar #a"t s(ggest to in&estigate the idea o# a spe"ial design% originated #rom a

single *smallest+ letter $ot,

Starting a creation legend with a letter Jot

9reation > it seems > had been generated #rom the letter $ot% generating a hand#(l o# &owels and a

series o# "onsonants,

In old3German writing the "(rsi&e /i03letter seems to be #orming a basi" element in a great n(mber 

o# lettersH espe"ially in the i% n% (% m% e% and so on, The /i0 is to be identi#ied by the dot and the name

/$ot0 itsel# means /dot0, The /(0 is "hara"teried by an (pper mar.er named / bre&e0 */0+, The /e0

is "hara"teried by two &ery "lose positioned parallel stro.es8,

The #ollowing list ill(strates a #ew o# these "hara"ters% whi"h may s(ggest that the s"ript!s alphabethad been designed as a gen(ine series% generated #rom the basi" letter $ot, The stro.es are J(ite

similar and e)tra "oding mar.ers *s("h as dots% (pper bre&e and (ndertie+ are needed to identi#y the

spe"ial elements, I will ill(strate this in the #ollowing samples #or n% m% (% e% ei and e(,

These spe"ial mar.ers *dots% (pper bre&e and (ndertie+ seem to be German /;others o# readingK0 in
