The distinct Vav
The vav is the "sword" of the word. It is a prefix meaning 'and'. Like 'and' it divides two things and connects them. [1] As a visual allegory, it looks like a sword. It indicates that there are two sides to an issue. To understand ideas, we pull them apart and put them back together. This clarifies and distinguishes the meaning. It represents the word spoken into the void to separate God from his creation and pull them back together. [2]
