Hebrew-G-Gimel-Hieroglyph-Throne-(basket, pot stand)

The original connotations of all letters have evolved through the earliest times and been given several meanings as time went on.

 As with the letter G and dealing with all of the letters of the alphabet I'll give what I've found to be the earliest meanings and origins.  

This letter has its earliest meanings in relation to the hunt as a throwing staff. Even seen as a crook or a bent stick.

A spear would be similar but a bit different as the throwing staff had the most basic form of a sharpened stick, where a spear would have been associated to something 

with a stone or sharpened attachment. As the letter and its meaning(s) evolved it became part of a relation to being foreign or in a foreign area. 

Then even later after that it became associated to the motion of giving for a just cause or the reception of reward.

At this point it evolved from a crooked line to a crooked line with a foot as it appears today in the Hebrew glyph form.

This is one of the six Hebrew letters that a dagesh (or dot) that's used to denote it's proper pronunciation. Like Gym or Get.

It should be noted here that the actual deciphering (by noted professors and archeologists) of the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs wasn't undertaken until long after they were no

longer in use, by this time other forms of alphabets had taken over and so the actual origins of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, are left to speculation by their original interpreters.

I'll try not to relay those speculations here in this work. Although I have spent a great deal of time weeding through the data to see, that which is applicable, I can't justifiably pass

on unfounded data, due to someone else's theories or fantasies.

This is why the evolution from one form of Hieroglyph to another isn't constantly stated here.

However, that which has been confirmed, as information concerning the evolution of the symbols will be mentioned, because the information is, comparatively, verifiable from

more than one, authenticated source. As you can see it (Gimel) appears to have a foot extended from the main staff/line of the letter. 

This is for good reason as the staff is in representation of the letter. To step forward would be a necessary requirement of throwing something. 

As just mentioned the stepping evolving to traveling and traveling evolving to benefit for reward is the progression, that I've found, in the study of this letter's evolution.

There was also a known separation from the writings of the common man and the writings of the Hierarchy in the culture of Egypt. 

This is the only determination I can find for the reason the hieroglyph appears as a throne or stand (pot stand).

It's pretty easy to see how a throne (even basket) can be associated to a reward even though; at this point it's unfounded as a fact.
