Significance of ㆍ being present in all vowels
The fact that ㆍ(Hanul-A [ʌ]) is present in all eight vowels
represents the principle of Balkeum’s bright energy
spreading through the darkness of Eodum, permeating all
things in the world and bringing about transformation.
This reflects the cosmic flow of energy, where light emerges
from darkness, symbolizing creation and change.
Role of Human and the harmony of BalkIEo
The compound vowels ㅛ ㅑ ㅠ ㅕ(yo ya yu yeo) all include
ㅣ Human, signifying that Human plays a central role in
harmonizing ㆍ Heaven and ㅡ Earth, and BalkEo.
This symbolizes Human as the bridge and balance between
the cosmic forces, reflecting the philosophy that Human is
the master of all creation.
Fulfillment of the principle with ㆍ as its root
The medial sounds are designed to resemble the forms of
Heaven, Earth, and Human, perfectly embodying the
principle of Hattangsa(Samjae: the Three Principle).
