The term "Abaryt" is a transliteration of the Hebrew word for "Hebrew" and is used to refer to the study of the Hebrew language, particularly its older or "ancient" pictographic forms. It often refers to the script believed by some to have been used during the time of Moses, known as Proto-Sinaitic or Paleo-Hebrew.
Those who study Abaryt typically focus on the following:
The ancient pictographs: Investigating the symbolic meaning of the original letter forms. This is done to gain a deeper understanding of the Hebrew scriptures by breaking down words into their foundational pictorial meanings.
Biblical interpretation: Analyzing how the meanings of the ancient pictographs and word roots can provide insight into the meaning of biblical texts.
The alphabet: Learning the 22-letter Abaryt alphabet, including the pronunciation and visual representation of each character.
Word origins: Examining how words are built from root letters and how prefixes and suffixes are used.
This type of study is often done as a way to engage with the Hebrew scriptures and is considered a form of Torah study.
