V-O-U-Vau – Egyptian Hieroglyph: Crane

In the Hebrew the meaning is given as pin or hook and that holds some interesting connotations as far as seaming and sewing together, assisting and gathering as well if you

consider the fish hook in gathering food.

Egyptian-Crane: In the hieroglyphs you will find a chick also for these sounds. 

There are a lot of hypotheses for the Egyptian letters being representative of either a thing or a sound or both in the same area.

That is the representation of a hand to the mouth meaning someone speaking or the drawing of a shelter actually being a shelter or representing the letter H or B so there are some

differences of opinion in translations.

Animal's behaviors seemed to have a role to play amongst the Egyptian translation of things in life.

For instance the word for son was the same as goose and geese are very protective of their son's and so peculiar similarities have been noticed in the way that the culture thought and

spoke in relation to themselves and nature.

A culture that has to date survived twice the span of history as the time of Christianity and we don't know what they meant today.

Although I am researching many avenues of each area the evolution of the pin and/or hook will not need that attention.

I will bring attention to the fact that when you use either one you best use caution; although there are hooks that don't end in a sharp point the ones being used in this context are not

only pins like sewing needles but pins like a part of a door hinge or a fastener.  It's also a wrestling hold but that doesn't apply here (or does it?).

Here pin applies mostly to holding fast and also the actual creation of a thing itself. 

Although commonly pins are known to be very small and are used in multitudes to keep things in place for the moment and then stored to be used again at a future time.

It doesn't really matter until your setting up a fabric for marking or sewing and you don't have any pins to use.

There are a lot of things in life that will not matter to you until you need one and don't have it available.
