שלמות האותיות תלוי בטעמים נקודות תגים שמתחברים עמהם, כל אחד משלימים בהם פעולה כראוי להם. אך עיקר הפעולה באותיות
The full functioning of the letters depends on (the additional roles played by the following elements:) the trope (musical notations placed above and below the letters), vowels (points placed within, over or under the letters), and the “crowns” (configurations that are joined to the letters at the top) that are attached to the letters. Each completes an action appropriate to it. But the essential acts come about through the letters (themselves).
