Yō

In Paleo Hebrew Yō was drawn as an Arm. Arm shows up throughout the books of (10) First Kings, (32) Joel and (54) Hebrews. By studying Arm in these books all of Yō's meanings can be learned.

In First Kings Yō is _____

Yahvah with Joshua (6 Joshua 1:5)

To be with someone and never leave them is to be nailed to them.

In Joel Yō is _____

Leader of the assembly (28 Ecclesiastes 1:1)

Solomon is the leader of the assembly in Ecclesiastes (sometimes translated preacher or teacher). Given we had an assembly at the end of Joshua and we are dealing with vav the word "assembly" seems closest to what's meant. The assembly is a connected group of people with the leader matched or connected to the group as it's leader.

In Hebrews Yō is _____

Following Christ (50 First Corinthians 1:12)

Some follow Paul, some follow Apollos, and some follow Peter, but following Christ is best. Paul nails what matters in the discussion of following, which is who you follow. Throughout First Corinthians this is the pattern. Paul gives a list, sometimes with only two items, then nails (specifies) what is best.

Summary

Yō is:

• grasp
• release
• lift
• press
• lever

Grammar

When suffixed to a word Yō means "of." This possesive use of Yō goes along with Yō as the hand that holds or grabs.
