Yuan Anxi Iron Plate - Magical Square (2014)
Dedicated to Sekhmet, the Desert Queen in Purple, and Al-Uzzat, Al-lat and Manat:
The ancient Arabs believed that numbers are flesh, while the word meaning behind the numbers with their various roots, which acquire meaning depending on the context and cipher, are the soul of a particular sequence of numbers. Assuming that these people artfully revealed and concealed in the distant past, one might assume that various magic squares have not escaped such treatment, which might spontaneously reveal their wisdom. Here I present a hypothetical, poetic meaning behind the magic square of Yuan Anxi.
Methodology and interpretation: The numeric values are translated into alphabetic values of stem consonants. Using the Abjad number system, they are reversed as if they were read from right to left, as in Persian (Farsi) and Arabic script. Then, the word stems are analysed and contrasted contextually and symbolically. Each cell represents its own meaning, but it is not combined with neighbouring cells, but read intuitively in the next cell. The combinations of cells do not convey meanings when summed by roots, but taken individually, some polysemous continuity emerges. Each of the root words extracted from these values is listed at the end of this document - they have been analysed for precision, and since this is a poetic endeavour, it does not claim to accurately translate the correct, absolute meaning, if any. In this poetic context, the author has done his best to convey the 'soul' that emerged during the conversation with the square. Once again, the following interpretation in no way pretends to be a definitive answer, but is the poetic result of an inner journey, and so I would suggest reading it as just that: Poetry or a parable, which does not diminish the aesthetic value of the exploration.
“This iron plate is inscribed with Arabic numbers in a six by six grid. It was excavated from the palace of Prince Anxi (Son of Kubhlai Khan) in the eastern suburbs of Xi'an.[1]
Most probably, the Iron Square came into possession of Mongolians (who already conquered the Yuan part of China) after the conquest of Eastern Persia in the years 1218 – 1221.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Xi'an was known as Jingzhaofu. Its name was changed to Fengyuan in 1273 under the Yuan Dynasty. In 1275 Prince of Anxi (son of Khublai Khan) or Ananda , who was a Mongolian prince, built a palace city near Xi'an. It was called Dawang Dian in Chinese and Gan Erduo in Mongolian. Today, it is referred to as Anxi."

(In view of the crucial importance of the prayer niche, this view is persuasive. The phrase “neither of the East nor of the West” suggests centrality and is therefore open to being interpreted as applying to the Tree of Bliss, and the water symbolism mentioned earlier plays an important part in the paradisal motif of Muslim prayer rugs. Often a rug depicts a tree growing out of a vase, symbolising a divine source of water, and on some rugs may be seen aquatic fowls which indicate the proximity of water in paradisal symbolism)

h
ه h (called hāʼi hauwaz or hāʼi mudau- wara "round hā"), the thirty-first letter of the Persian-Arabic alphabet, signifies five in arithmetic, and denotes in alma- nacs Thursday and the sign Virgo, also the planet Venus and the moon when bright. It is a slight aspirate, like the h in "hope," either of guttural origin, as in mih, corresponding to the Greek me/gas, or in dah, G. deka, &c., whence the frequent change of the h at the end of Persian nouns into g before the plural termination ān and the diminutive affix ak (زنده zinda, pl. زندگان zindagān; جامه jāma, dim. جامگك jāmagak), and the substitution of ق in Arabic for the final ه in Persian (A. فستق = P. پشته); or it is of dental origin, as in ماه māh "moon," S. māsa; مهر muhr "seal," S. mudrā; گاه gāh "place," Z. gātu. Lastly, it is originally labial, as in کوه kōh, compared with Zand-Pāzand کوپ kop and A. قاف qāf, کوف in کوفة kūfat. Accordingly we find it interchangeable with ا, ج, ح, خ, س, ف, ق, ك, و, and ی. In Persian ه is of two kinds: manifest or sounded (z̤āhir), and concealed or mute (maḵẖfī). The former is enunciated whether preceded by fatḥah, ẓammah, or kasrah, as rah "a road," anduh "grief," farbih "fat" (pl. rahhā, anduhhā, girihhā). In the diminutive it is marked with fatḥah, as rahak "a little road," anduhak "a trifling sorrow," girihak "a small button." When taking the iẓāfah it is marked with kasrah, as rahi man "my road," anduhi man "My sorrow," girihi man "my button." Mute ه occurs principally in four kinds of words; (1) in nouns bearing a resemblance or relationship to another object, as dasta "a handle," from dast "the hand," &c.; (2) in the past active participle, or the sim- ple passive participle, as kushta "having slain" or "slain," &c.; (3) in adjectives, specifying time, which are formed from the words sāl "year," māh "month," roz "day," and shab "night," as yak-sāla "yearling," du-māha "bi-monthly," har roza "daily," chahār-shaba "quadri-noc- turnal, every fourth night"; (4) in all those Arabic feminines, terminating in ــَــ ة, whose ة has not in Persian changed to ت, that is, roughly speaking, in feminine ad- jectives, and such nouns as are not abstract substantives. In the plural of such words the h is generally, but by no means neces- sarily, dropped before the termination hā, as ḵẖāna-hā "houses," &c.; while before the termination ān it is changed to g, as āhū-bara "fawn," pl. āhū-baragān. When taking the sign iẓāfah the sign hamzah is placed over it, pronounced with kasrah, although the latter sign is not expressed in writing, as خانۀ من ḵẖānaʼi man "my house." For further particulars consult the Grammar.
ها hā
ها hā, Have a care! be ready! here! behold! whether? is it so? a slap on the face; white on a bird's face; the plural termination, formerly mostly of things inanimate, as sang "a stone," sang-hā "stones," while the plural of animated beings was generally (not exclusively) formed by ān, as ādamī "man," pl. ādami- yān "men, mankind." In modern Persian, however, the ending hā has almost entirely superseded ān both for inanimated and animated beings.
ها hā
A ها hā, (the 3rd pers. sing. of the affixed pronoun) Her, to, of, from, or by her; (referring to broken plurals) theirs, &c.; (interjection) lo! behold! take! (particle of swearing) by, as: [lā hāʼllāhi, Not, by God!]--hāʼ, Take! give! grant! name of the letter h.

Like the English y, it is sometimes a consonant and sometimes a vowel; in the former case it has the sound of y in "youth."
