Symbol 22:1

2201

22:1 · The single-axis symmetric triangle can hardly be said to have any meaning in itself; rather, it is a variation of the multi-axes symmetric, or equilateral, triangle. See 2801 in Group 28.
    Like 2801 it is seldom seen in prehistoric rock carvings, but see entry 3956 in Group 39 for an exception.
    Pointed upward it is generally associated with fire and divine power. But as an Egyptian hieroglyph it was, according to Gardiner, an ideogram for thorn, and used when writing such concepts as sharp. In the Hittite hieroglyphic system 2201 represented mu, city. In the same system two such signs, 22012201, stood for country or kingdom.
    We see an example of the law of the polarity of meanings of elementary graphs in the French hobo or gypsy sign system, where 2201 rather than signifying something powerful, to be afraid of, means woman or here lives a woman alone.
