GREEN EYED MONSTER
We all know it as jealousy, but how? It goes back to the Shakespearean Play "Orthello" in Act III. Shakespeare used a cat's green eyes to represent jealousy and referred to it as "Green Eyed Monster" in the plays, the phrase just caught on!
The Phoenician letter name ṭēth means "wheel".
The letter possibly continues a Middle Bronze Age glyph named ṭab "good", Tav in Arameic and Tov טוב in Hebrew, ṭayyib طيب in modern Arabic, based on the nfr "good" hieroglyph Jewish scripture books about the "holy letters" from the 10th century and on discuss the connection or origin of the letter Teth with the word Tov, and the Bible uses the word 'Tov' in alphabetic chapters to depict the letter.
Teth - Phoenician letter representing the numeral 9.
