And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Mark 10.24

The Name of the Nineteenth Letter, Quph, denotes the Eye of a Needle. The reason it's called this is rather obvious from its basic form as a cirlce atop a line. It corresponds to the Latin letter Q which contains similiar elements. The phrase eye of a needle occurs three times in Scripture - once in each of the synoptic Gospels. It is symmetrically centered around the Gospel of Mark on Spoke 19. Furthermore, in the Gospel of Matthew, where the chapter sequence is so very strongly correlated with the order of the Alphabet, this phrase appears in Matthew 19. Thus, two out of three occurrences of the name of Quph in Scripture are directly correlated with the order of the Alphabet, and all three are symmetrically centered around Spoke 19.

Ape, Flesh, and Physical Manifestation

The word Quph also denotes a monkey or an ape, and is understood by the Rabbis to signify our fleshly nature. This manifests in a number of Spoke 19 themes linked on the sidebar, most notably the introdution of the Nineteenth Century Theory of Apemen, a.k.a. Human Evolution. From the idea of the flesh, we move to the more general concept of physical manifestation, such as is declared in Psalm 19: "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork." Using geometric notation, Psalm 19 is represented by the Point PBible(19,19).

Psalm 19 is particularly interesting in that it contains the four fundamental Quph KeyWords in its first six verses, including the name of the Nineteenth letter! We read (vs.4f):

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice ( , Qol)) is not heard. Their line ( , Qav) is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end ( , Qatseh) of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit ( , Quph) unto the ends ( , Qetsah) of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

Psalm 19 is the only Psalm that contains the name of the Ninteenth Letter.
