	Mater lectionis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Matres lectionis (Latin "mothers of reading", singular form: mater lectionis) are an early method for indicating vowels in the Hebrew alphabet.
		Later, it became clear that the system of matres lectionis did not suffice to indicate the vowels precisely enough, so that supplemental vowel pointing systems (diacritic symbols indicating vowel pronunciation and other important phonological features not written by the traditional basic consonantal orthography) were developed accordingly.
		In general terms, it is observable that early Phoenician texts have very few matres lectionis, and that during most of the 1st millennium B.C.E. Hebrew and Aramaic were quicker to develop matres lectionis than Phoenician.

	Honoured Matres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Honored Matres are an organization in the fictional Dune universe created by Frank Herbert in his Dune series of novels.
		Since the Honored Matres did not have access to the melange or the Water of Life which give the Bene Gesserit their heightened awareness and mental abilities, they substituted another drug that stimulates adrenaline production.
		The Honored Matres are characterized by their extremely violent tendencies and their ability to imprint a man sexually, amplifying his orgasmic response to such an ecstatic (and addictive) height that the victim of an imprinting is a willing slave of the Honored Matre who "marks" him.

		Some Matres such as the Gallicae and the Britannicae encompassed entire region but more often the Matres were connected with specific localities and often leant their names to nearby bodies of water (Green 78).
		The Matres almost always appear in threes, usually seated, fully clothed and their role in nourishing and fertility is stressed.
		Thus it is clear from the similar traits and portrayals of the Matres throughout Celtic Europe that syncretism was an important aspect of the Celtic religion.

		There isn't a single, universally worshipped, Celtic mother goddess, or even a single universally worshipped Irish mother goddess, by which I mean a female deity or divine figure associated with nurture and fertility exclusively.
		There are references all over the continent to Deae Matres, and (most especially in the Rhineland and Cisalpine Gaul) the Matronae.
		These goddesses are often triple, not in the Gravesian sense of Mother, Maiden, Crone (though some of the figures appear to be two younger or middle aged figures and one older female), but in the sense that the iconographic representations show three female figures, often virtually identical.

		So the system known as "matres lectionis" was devised where certain letters were used to represent long vowels: 'aleph for [a:], he for [o:] and [a:], waw for [o:] and [u:], and yodh for [e:] and [i:].
		However, matres lectionis was not a complete system, and by the 9th century CE the practice of adding dots and lines, called nikkudim, above or below a letter to indicate a vowel came into being.
		This is known as the "Tiberian" system, named after the city of Tiberias in Palestine, and joined matres lectionis as part of the Hebrew writing system.
