Concept slug: mah First introduced: Op. 72 Last advanced: Op. 125 Appearance count: 8 chapters

What this concept is

MaH (gematria 45) (מ"ה, gematria 45) is one of the four expansions of the Four-Letter Name — the active, Forehead, repair-rooting expansion. MaH acts on BaN (gematria 52), joining with it as the matkela balance (Op. 59) to produce the operational repair. MaH is identified with the Line (Op. 64).

How the concept develops

MaH enters at Op. 22 (the four expansions). Op. 46 (the new MaH is forecast as the response to the breaking). Op. 54 (the new MaH from AK's Forehead arrives to complete the broken vessels via selection-and-purification → Partzufim).

Op. 55 (MaH +simple-the Four-Letter Name+kolel = 72 — the four pathways arithmetic); Op. 56 (overall AV (gematria 72) in MaH); Op. 58 (MaH (Yesod) builds Nukva — the deficient BaN — after which Zeir Anpin (Z"A) sends her a flow of blessing).

Op. 59 (root of repair = joining of MaH and BaN — matkela). Op. 60 (MaH bound under Yesod of AK = drop of male waters). Op. 62 (MaH roots repair; BaN roots defects). Op. 64 (MaH = Line; BaN = Residue; Male puts in Female; Male repairs right, Female left).

In the concealed-government unit (Op. 78–84), MaH is one half of the unique arrangement of MaH and BaN. The named-Partzuf walk (Op. 90 onward) presupposes MaH-BaN as the building material of every Partzuf.

Cross-arc connections

MaH travels with BaN (the matkela-pair), Line / Kav (MaH = Line per Op. 64), **AV and SaG (gematria 63)* (the upper expansions; MaH-BaN at the operational level), Forehead of AK (the source of the new MaH), and repair / Tikkun (MaH is the active root of all repair).

What the reader should hold

MaH is the active root of the cosmic government's operational level. The new MaH from AK's Forehead is what arrives after the breaking to complete the repair; the ongoing MaH-BaN joining (matkela) is what makes the cycle's operational form possible.
