1. I have never said that L is "high", but certainly what is high up is also high down, depending on the outlook. Here: GE גא is tall, but GAY גיא is deep. 2. I really don't know if "there (is) a single culture in the world which defines "circle" as "two half-circles"." 3. I don't believe that "the phonetic repetition hints at an etymological repetition (but not doubling!) of the action." 4. OK, so what are SALAL, TALAL and $ALAL?
