  Kaph - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kaph (also spelled Kap or Kaf) is the eleventh letter of many Semitic abjads, including Phoenician, Aramaic, Hebrew כ and Arabic alphabet kāf ﻙ.
Kaph is thought to have been derived from a pictogram of a hand (in both modern Hebrew and modern Arabic, kaph means palm).
When the Kaph has a "dot" in its center, known as a dagesh, then it is pronounced as Kaph, making the same sound that the English K makes when pronounced.

 Art:21 . Ann Hamilton's "kaph" | PBS
A confluence of the metered aspects of daily life – walking, breathing, working – and images which suggest silence, mourning and mortality – the wet walls, the wrapped tables – Hamilton’s kaph is a rich work which requires that visitors slow down, meander, and ponder the archetypal imagery present.
As in "kaph," where the nearly two miles of intravenous tubing necessary to make the walls weep is concealed within two curving walls, Hamilton has become interested in concealing her hand as an artist.
Kaph, which is the Sanskrit word for the palm of one’s hand, becomes the subject of the work as much as it becomes a working image – the attendant dutifully unraveling numbers from her glove, destroying and creating in a single gesture.

"Kaph" to descend from the throne of glory.
"Kaph", the symbol of "Malchut" of "Atziluth", is vestured in the Sephiroth of the head of "Briah": "Ketter, Chochmoh, Binah and Daath".
In other words, the Creator told the "Kaph" that, by reason of her descending from the throne of glory, the three Sephiroth of "Z.A": "Ketter, Chochmoh and Binah" trembled as well as all the worlds, which shook and quaked and were in danger of falling and being destroyed.

 Poetry and Magic - The Wheel of Fortune
On the Path of Kaph, the palm of the hand or the fist may be used by those who are in just such a position as Marianne Moore's: she, it seems, on this occasion used her fist, and for this Ted damns her.
The imagery and symbolism of both poems serve to express a deep concern with the steely, dispiriting effects of "the power, the glory", and Sylvia's poem may be seen as a terrible, prophetic vision of a soul-less future society and a prayer for the survival of her child.
The Hebrew word, Kaph, when it is used as a verb, means "subdue"; and in Talmudic teaching it is used to express the awful and repressive power with which the great love of the Divine is sometimes shown to his people.

 Taw (letter) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The six are Bet, Gimmel, Daled, Kaph, Pe, and Taw (see Hebrew Alphabet for more about these letters).
Three of them (Bet, Kaph, and Pe) have their sound changed in modern Hebrew from the fricative to the plosive by adding a dagesh.
In gematria Taw represents the number 400, the largest number that can be made without using the Sophit forms (see Kaph, Mem, Nun, Pe, and Tzade).

Perhaps in his correction the scribe wrote a final kaph and then corrected it when adding the he to show the open syllable of the masc.
Beside the large kaph in line 30, letters are added to the text in lines 18, 21 and 29 and a word is written above line 20 just left of the rip.
Line 30: The Unusually Large Kaph written at the end of line 30 and over the word Ahaz in line 31 is actually a very poor attempt at editing the word "king" which precedes Ahaz.

K, by itself is Kaph, the Hand of God in Kether ("who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand and meted out heaven with the span" - Isaiah 40, v.12) or the hand as the receptive Malkuth on the Tree.
Kaph, as previously described, is the hand of God transmitting the vital spark to Man, and the hand of Man receiving the divine influx (as painted on the ceiling of the Sistene Chapel by Michelangelo, for example).
Spelt in full, Kaph is Kaph-Peh, the Wheel and the Blasted Tower, each of which can be seen as a process of evolution.

 Yod Versus Kaph   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
They both denote the hand, the difference being that while Kaph can signify the hand in general, it literally refers to the Palm of the Hand, and is often translated palm, hollow, handful, and spoon, the latter being a homonym of the name of the eleventh letter.
This is the beauty and simplicity of the Hebrew language where words are built like buildings reflecting the nature of the stones of which they are built.
The emphasis of the Yod verse is the manipulation of objects - the purpose of the Yad (Active Hand) - whereas the emphasis of the Kaph verse is giving to the poor and needy, which is best symbolized by the Open Hand.

 Tarot of the Bohemians: Chapter XI. Second Septenary: 11. Strength
The hieroglyphic meaning of the Kaph is the hand of man, half closed and in the act of prehension, like the Gimel.
But the Kaph is reinforcement of the Gimel, so that we might say that it designates the hand of man in the act of grasping strongly.
Thus, allied on one side to the sign of elementary life (see the 8th arcanum), it joins to the signification of the letter Heth (ה;) that of the organic sign ג (Gimel) (3rd arcanum), of which too it is merely a reinforcement.

 Re: orion XII/Minor Prophets question
The first letter in line 11 is indeed a clear He as reported but the second letter, read by Fuller as Kaph, again appears incorrect.
The slight curve to the right at the bottom of the downstroke is not that of a Kaph, and its position, as well as its shape, is inconsistent as well.

The alert reader in English will notice the brackets and assume there is a reading of a Kaph (K) followed by a restoration of the rest of the word Kittim, giving "'the seas'--these are all the K[ittim]." But there is no Kaph there.
Instead of 22 letter possibilities (if there was no ink at all), one of which could be Kaph, there were only 10 letters consistent with that speck, one of which could be Kaph.
From the Kaph was generated the rest of the word "Kittim".
