H. P. Blavatsky

V. V — The twenty‐second letter of the Latin alphabet. Numerically it stands for 5; hence the Roman V (with a dash) stands for 5,000. The Western Kabbalists have connected it with the divine Hebrew name IHVH. The Hebrew Vau, however, being number 6, it is only by being identical with the W, that it can ever become a proper symbol for the male‐female, and spirit‐matter. The equivalent for the Hebrew Vau is YO, and in numerals 6.
