Origins
The letter name is derived from Proto-Semitic*ʿayn- "eye", and the Phoenician letter had an eye-shape, ultimately derived from the ı͗rhieroglyph
To this day, ʿayin in Hebrew, Arabic, Amharic, and Maltese means "eye" and "spring" (ʿayno in Neo-Aramaic).
The Phoenician letter gave rise to the GreekΟ, Latin O, and CyrillicО, all representing vowels.
The sound represented by ayin is common to much of the Afrasiatic language family, such as the Egyptian, Cushitic, and Semitic languages. Some scholars believe that the sound in Proto-Indo-European transcribed h3 was similar, though this is debatable. (See Laryngeal theory.)
Arabic language: ع is used on the labels of several products as an abbreviation for this language (the respective autoglossonyms, عربي and عربى, start by ع).
Ayin (Hebrew:אַיִן, meaning "nothingness", related to Ain-"not") is an important concept in Kabbalah and Hasidic philosophy. It is contrasted with the term Yesh ("something/existence/being/is"). According to kabbalistic teachings, before the universe was created there was only Ayin, and the first manifest Sephirah (Divine emanation), Chochmah (Wisdom), "comes into being out of Ayin." In this context, the sephirah Keter, the Divine will, is the intermediary between the Divine Infinity (Ein Sof) and Chochmah. Because Keter is a supreme revelation of the Ohr Ein Sof (Infinite Light), transcending the manifest sephirot, it is sometimes excluded from them.
Ayin is closely associated with the Ein Sof (Hebrew אין סוף), which is understood as the Deity prior to His self-manifestation in the creation of the spiritual and physical realms, single Infinite unity beyond any description or limitation. From the perspective of the emanated created realms, Creation takes place "Yesh me-Ayin" ("Something from Nothing"). From the Divine perspective, Creation takes place "Ayin me-Yesh" ("Nothing from Something"), as only God has absolute existence; Creation is dependent on the continuous flow of Divine lifeforce, without which it would revert to nothingness. Since the 13th century, Ayin has been one of the most important words used in kabbalistic texts. The symbolism associated with the word Ayin was greatly emphasized by Moses de León (c. 1250 – 1305), a Spanishrabbi and kabbalist, through the Zohar, the foundational work of Kabbalah. In Hasidism Ayin relates to the internal psychological experience of Deveikut ("cleaving" to God amidst physicality), and the contemplative perception of paradoxical Yesh-Ayin Divine Panentheism, "There is no place empty of Him".
Transcendental Numbers
A number is rational if it can be expressed as a fraction. When these rational numbers are expressed in decimal form, a pattern emerges. 1/2 is rational, in decimal form it becomes 0.5000… and the zeroes go on into infinity. Nothing random there. 2/7 is rational, in decimal form it becomes 0.285714285714… and the 285714's go on into infinity. Nice pattern, again nothing random. Sometimes the patterns are more complicated, but where there's a fraction, there's always a pattern. 296/913 appears random for it's first 82 decimal digits. But then, inevitably, a pattern emerges.

Pythagoreans loved these numbers, they believed patterns existed everywhere. They were appalled by the discovery of irrational numbers, which cannot be expressed as fractions, and are apparently random. As they go on into infinity, no pattern emerges. Some of these numbers can be used in algebraic functions. √2 is irrational, but can be substituted for x in the algebraic function x² - 2 = 0. But there are some irrational numbers that are also non algebraic. These are known as transcendental numbers. The first of these to be proven to be transcendental were e (in 1873) and pi (in 1882). These two remain as the most famous of all transcendental numbers. We now know over 13 trillion digits of pi. Still no pattern! Or is there?
Gematria
The Hindu-Arabic numeral system only became widely accepted in the mid 1600's. Prior to it's widespread implementation, other numbering systems were in use. Best known of these is the Latin Numbering System, whereby letters of the Latin alphabet were ascribed numerical values. So I =1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100 and M = 1,000. The Bible's Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew, and the New Testament in Greek. Both these ancient languages also used number systems based on their alphabets. But unlike Latin, every Hebrew and Greek letter had a numerical equivalent. So every word, and every verse had a numerical value. This is called gematria, and the gematria values of each letter of the Hebrew and Greek alphabets are as follows: (You can see that the methodology is the same for both languages.)

The ʿayin glyph in these various languages represents, or has represented, a voiced pharyngeal fricative (/ʕ/), or a similarly articulated consonant, which has no equivalent or approximate substitute in the sound‐system of English. There are many possible transliterations.
Origins
The letter name is derived from Proto-Semitic*ʿayn- "eye", and the Phoenician letter had an eye-shape, ultimately derived from the ı͗rhieroglyph
To this day, ʿayin in Hebrew, Arabic, Amharic, and Maltese means "eye" and "spring" (ʿayno in Neo-Aramaic).
The Phoenician letter gave rise to the GreekΟ, Latin O, and CyrillicО, all representing vowels.
The sound represented by ayin is common to much of the Afrasiatic language family, such as the Egyptian, Cushitic, and Semitic languages. Some scholars believe that the sound in Proto-Indo-European transcribed h3 was similar, though this is debatable. (See Laryngeal theory.)
Verse 1: I became her lover, she became my lover. Had her heart broke, I was helping her recover. I became the man she knew she could rely on. Somebody to listen or shoulder to cry on. She was getting better, better she was getting. The more time spent, the more she would forget him. But then back around he seen that he started coming, and shes on the low taking phone calls from him. I thought that we were building something strong. He apologizes and now your gone. And I won't put up with this. Pre-chorus: You wanna go. (Go.) Just hope you know. Baby your gonna be lonely, lonely again. Oh lonely, lonely. Go on go, go. Just hope you know. (Hey.) Baby your gonna be lonely, lonely again. Lonely, lonely again. Chorus: Don't call me when your lonely again. When your lonely again, lonely again. Oh, sugga don't call me when your lonely again, when your lonely again. Lonely again. (Oh.)
