THE GREEN PARTY - Yodh


Scarecrow: Come along, Dorothy. You don't want any of those apples.
Apple Tree: Are you hinting my apples aren't what they ought to be?
Scarecrow: Oh, no. It's just that she doesn't like little green worms! 





Yodh (also spelled Yud or Yod or Jod or Jodh) is the tenth letter of many Semitic alphabets, including Phoenician, Aramaic and Hebrew. 

Yodh is thought to have originated with a pictograph of a hand, ultimately deriving from Proto-Semitic *yad... . It may be related to the Egyptian hieroglyphic of an arm.
