The significance of the sound [ı]

Vowels formed a topological system with early language.

Semiotically to say, vowels (as well as consonants) used to function as iconic significations, that is, as the simplest signs to convey/signify complex concepts/meanings. This complex concept or meaning refers to the topological position of each vowel.

To have some proper picture or understanding of the sound [ı] we have to consider it on its topological position. To do so, we suppose the following black circle as ‘dir’ (the unit, being unit):This vowel sound [ı] pairs with the vowel sound [a]. We can see and check these pairing vowels with ‘dir’ as follows:

Then, we can check the sound [ı] on the model below:

Finally, we can see and check the position of the sound [a] on the attractor model of vowels:
