If you’re asking about the e thing then it is referring to Jewish? folklore about golems. The golem would have a word that starts with e on their forehead and you stopped them by erasing the e. I don’t remember the specifics.

there are some narratives where the golems would have “EMET” written in their forehead which means “truth” in hebrew and if you removed or destroyed the first letter “E” what remains is “MET” that means “dead”

by the way, thanks for the chapter.

One of the oldest stories about golems involve animating them from clay and inscribing the Hebrew word “emet (truth)” into them. You could defeat them by erasing one of the E’s to make the word say “met (death)”

Thanks for the chapter.
I think they are referencing the golems in Jewish mythology. You need to write Emeth to make them function, but if you erase the ‘E’ what remains is meth meaning ‘death’. The myth was used in multiple stories so I don’t know if it was a specific anime, novel or game.

The ‘letter e’ is from Jewish folklore, where a golem has the word ’emeth’ meaning ‘truth’ on its forehead. It can be destroyed by removing the e, turning the word into ‘meth’ meaning ‘death’.
“Unfortunately these golems do not have the letter ‘e’” probably means that there’s no easy and convenient way to defeat them aside from just dealing damage.

Cheers for the chapter, and all your hard work!

Taken from google.
The Hebrew letters on the creature’s head read “emet”, meaning “truth”. In some versions of the Chełm and Prague narratives, the Golem is killed by removing the first letter, making the word spell “met”, meaning “dead”.

The original story about golem it had emeth written on them. And the way to stop them from working was to erase the first “e” from it

Thanks for chapter.
I think they meant golem name “EMETH” and if E in front is destroyed/erased it become “METH” that means dead.
I don’t know details but I see it in some manga and novel I reading.

“And I have heard, in a certain and explicit way, from several respectable persons that one man [living] close to our time, whose name is R. Eliyahu, the master of the name, who made a creature out of matter [Heb. Golem] and form [Heb. tzurah] and it performed hard work for him, for a long period, and the name of emet was hanging upon his neck until he finally removed it for a certain reason, the name from his neck and it turned to dust.”
the golems of chelm and prague are the classical narratives with regards to golems. in a few variations the ‘e’ from emet (truth) is removed, leaving met (death).

Thanks

regarding the letter “e” in the golems: this has to do with jewish folklore where they make golems come to life by carving the word “life” in them. It seems that the diference between “life” and “death” in their language is the letter “e”, so by deleting that letter the golems stop working

Should be a reference to Emeth, it comes up in a few anime’s, but not sure if the author here was referencing a specific one :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emeth

“Anyone has any idea what golem they are talking about” it’s about jewish golems (according to Simpsons) and method to disable them.

It’s the puzzle that showed up in death march. Change “Emeth” to “meth” (something about changing the word on the golem to “death” in some language and it dies. Don’t ask me where it’s from originally though).

Letter ‘e’ with golems is a reference to emet being what brought the golem to life, carved into them. Erasing the ‘e’ changed it to “met” which meant death and killed it. I might be wrong about the exact words. Not a Hebrew scholar.

Golem with the word emet (אמת, “truth” in Hebrew) written on its forehead.
The golem could then be deactivated by removing the aleph (א) in emet, thus changing the inscription from “truth” to “death” (met מת, meaning “dead”).

Thanks for the translation ^^

it’s hebrew but they refer to golems with the word emeth on their forhead if you take the e it lea es meth wich means death so the goles dies easely

Thank you!

Probably the golem of Prague. The word E is Emeth (truth) and is inscribed as a magic word to animate golems. By erasing the E you get Meth which means Death, instantly killing the golem.

It’s a reference to the original golem legend here on earth. It had emeth carved into its forehead and when the first e was destroyed it would die.

The thing about golems traces back to the Jewish mythos of the golem, where to grant life to a Golem, the word “EMET” (which means “truth”) is written on the head of a clay doll/body. In order to defeat the golem you need to erase the letter “E” so it spells the word “MET” (which means “death”).

since everyone is explaining it even if it was already clear
the E thing on golem is Hebrew folklore, where golems are animated by writing “Emet” on their head, which means “Truth”, if you manage to erase the first letter E, it will become “met” which is “death” and the golem will deactivate

Error?
I suddenly recalled the Wool Worms I defeated n Belasra -> I suddenly recalled the Wool Worms I defeated in Belasra

Thanks for the treat, and stay safe.

They are talking about the old legend about the golem with emeth(thruth) Change it to meth (death) and the golem dies

Aren’t they talking about emeth that are written on the golems in the original legends?

I’m thinking the “e” thing at the end of the chapter is referring to the original way to kill golems in different stories. Many times the phrase “emeth” would be inscribed somewhere on a golem, meaning “firmness” or “truth” in Hebrew and bringing it to life. However, if you scratch out/destroy the letter “e” on those golems, it would simply read “meth” which means “death” in Hebrew and would cause the golem to stop functioning. In this case, Suzuki and Inchinojo are saying that the golems surrounding them are not the ones who are easily killed by simply destroying that one letter inscribed somewhere on their body. That’s my interpretation, but if someone else knows better then I’d love to know. Hope this helps.

its about the stereotypical jewish golem where you erase the letter in e in emet (jewish word for golem iirc) become met that means death thus deactivating/cease to operate said golem

Golem emet
Featured snippet from the web
The Hebrew letters on the creature’s head read “emet”, meaning “truth”. In some versions of the Chełm and Prague narratives, the Golem is killed by removing the first letter, making the word spell “met”, meaning “dead”.

In many stories about golems, the golem is indestructible (because he doesn’t take damage or because regenerate indefinitely), but has at his forehead the word EMET, the signific alive, and the solution to defeating the golem is destroying the letter E to change the word to MET= Dead, the word MET and EMET came from old Hebrew.

Re: The “E” for the golem. It’s the well-known story about golems having the word EMETH on them and destroying the first E breaks/stops the golem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emeth#The_Golem

Thanks for the chapter, and another special thanks to Deepak

Thanks for the corona-chapter.
About The “e”, in The original Golem myth, The Golem was a living statue with The hebreian Word Emeth write on The forehead. To stop It, you needed to delete The first letter, e, because Meth means Death in hebreus, and that would stop Golem.

Looks like my comment didn’t make the cut in all the many explanations of the golem or I wasn’t the first one to write a comment.

Anyway, thanks for the chapter!

As everyone else already explained the Emeth reference I’ll add an additional fun fact. The conception of golems haveing Emeth written upon their head to keep them moving is only one of two interpretations of the story. More often the Golem of Prague, as it is called in the old story, was given life either by inserting a tablet into it’s mouth, or embedding it in it’s chest. This tablet would either be enscribed with the instructions that the golem will follow or a word that gives life to the golem depending on the interpretation.

According to most Kabbalah sources, Golems are clay men that are brought to life through ritual, including the inscribing of the Hebrew word “emeth,” meaning truth, on their foreheads. To kill a Golem, you smudge out the first letter, leaving the word “meth,” meaning “he is dead.” As with much Kabbalah wisdom, words and letters are vitally important.

Can someone please explain the golem thing? I can’t find the answer anywhere.

;-P
