- Abstract
In other words, if a character has five parts or simple characters connected together to form that character, each of those five simple characters has five degrees of their own. The first of these seven characters is I beth i (2.15) that is used to indicate "man's first residence, a fruit garden, a great valley, a place of happiness", suggestive of the Garden of Eden.[33] Following the same pattern as the priesthood ontology and priesthood lineage above, the locality characters are distinguished from one another phonetically by changing the vowel, thus, the next character after I beth i is I beth-ka i (2.16). The combination of text with character/set concludes with Abraham 2:3-5, but then the manuscript includes a repeat of the last paragraph (Abraham 2:3-5) without assigning the repeat characters/character sets and finally continues with Abraham 2:6a, the latter section also not assigned a character or character set, nor even a completed sentence. One indication of this is found in manuscripts A and B that start with the title, "sign of the fifth degree of the first <SECCOND> part", as if these manuscripts were a continuation of the Grammar and Alphabet.[59] But, instead of picking up with the Egyptian characters in the Grammar and Alphabet, they use four lines of characters from a different part of the Book of Breathings. Knowing that the first two sections do not use characters from the papyri, this could be referencing their association with the Book of Mormon characters that were supposed to be reformed Egyptian, or they were labeled that way after they got the papyri and began adding characters from the papyri.
