Let's return with Heraclitus to his roots in the ancient Near-East
and take a closer look at the words he cultivated and related ones
not taken. Sign - Gk sema - Heb seman, a determination appropriate
in justice and instruction; it is similar to and yet distinct from
semel, a representation of kind, categorical, but morally corrupt,
hewn, and idolatrous. YHWH is pure voice in speech without a kind,
that is, is simply a singular and cannot be represented, pictured.
Does semel take root in a Greek word? Phenomenology and its method
are essentially non-representational. The words to be signs should
be traversed and existentialized, given a living history. Cryptic?

                In the limit will be cast the die,
                but from Being is all its justice.
