Formation - Zayin family
All of the members of the Bride Family are formed with a kof כ as the Son of God, and a zayin ז as the Bride of Christ. Since there is already a family for the kof כ, I have named this grouping after the bride. Observe two things: where the Son and bride are connected, and the shape of the corners.

The mem מ is formed by connecting a kof כ and a zayin ז at the top. It is a symbol that the Father arranged a marriage for the Son and chose his bride. [1] [2] [q 1] [a 1] This was done in heaven before the foundation of the earth. [3] This is the promise of God, and the focus is on the promise and the Father. [4] |

Mem מים means water as does the word mee מי, and the Father is represented as the 'waters above the firmament' (to the right of the yod). [1] [2] |

Mem מ or מם also means blemish. The bride, that the Father chose for the Son, was blemished, and it grieved him that it was so. [1] [v 1] |
