I have 3 letters in my ancient 'geometry' files SAN, is TSADE one of
those, letters/numbers thats seems to have been to have been
transposed, and 'Quoppa'
I was wondering for physics experst here , if whn certain formula seem
to miscalculated, or 'hyped up' if the shades of meaning could be
revered in letters or thought never in faith or cause at flesh level?
In second tense, trans[ositio or thought and relevence, like when
someone or other says something that that have read? light you know?

I have no idea what either of the messages under this heading means,

> hearing soon.
but the answer to the question in the heading is generally taken to
refer to composition using handset type (the only kind there was until
late in the 19th century).
After a forme is printed, the type is redistributed into the typecase
for reuse, and you have to be careful to sort the p's and q's into the
correct compartments.

Hebrew letters, maybe? Qoppa with no q.

p's are generalized momentum, the derivative of
the Lagrangian with respect to the time derivative
of the corresponding generalized coordinate q.
It's an admonition not to get them confused.

Oh, gee, and I thought minding your 'p's and 'q's was an exhortation
