In a time, WHENPEOPLEWROTELIKETHIS, because they had only capital letters and no further semantic symbols, the word **φιλοσοφία** was in use.
**φιλο** spelled in latin letters: PHILO
**σοφία** spelled in latin: SOPHIA
Old Greek had an advanced **Alphabet** at that time.
In Old Hebrew they had no vowels and would have only spelled
**FLSF**,
if they had used latin letters.
The vowels allowed more entropy and ideas could be encrypted in shorter bytes.
**FLOSF** transports much more information than **FLSF**.
The O bewteen FL and SF marks, that these two words combine into a new word.
They had no empty spaces like I use right now, so words were separated by default.
Other combinations of vowels and consonants at the end of a word could change it's meaning, number or sex.
**PHIL O SOPHIA**
Translates to modern English as 
**'Love of Wisdom'**
**'O'** and **'of'** remarkably similar, even phonetically.
A recombination into 
**'Wisdom of Love'**
would create a whole new sense - 
**SOPHIOPHIL** would be a whole different concept.

In a time, when people had less words and explanations, than we do now, they often 'personified' natural phenomena.
The Old Greeks did this with a lot of words.
What they couldn't explain and verify physically, they metaphorized.
**SOPHIA**
Is a Metaphor, a **female** Personification.
**σοφία**,
combines skill, cleverness, sound judgement and higher knowledge into **one single, female character.**

The plural 
**σοφίες**
'Wisdoms' was used in an **ironic way only.**
It means 'stupid, unrelevant'

To explain and to promote the character of SOPHIA is the purpose of this introduction.

Have a great day !
