Did you know that in Tibetan (and also in Mongolian), the different strokes of a letter are named after different parts of the body?

The long vertical stroke in the letter ཀ་ is called a "leg" (རྐང་པ་), and the slightly shorter vertical stroke in the letter ཁ་ is called an "arm" (ལག་པ་).

The bell is a ritual implement that symbolizes wisdom and femininity. A bell should be made from one of the three metals (ལྕགས་གསུམ་): gold, silver, or copper. The sound of the bell pleases the tathāgatas of the ten directions and wakes sentient beings from the deep sleep of their habitual tendencies (བག་ཆགས་).
