Can you please explain to us the transposition from tasse to english cup.
How is tasse remotely linked to the letters cup, what theory are you putting forth to support this?

There is a pic that illustrates the occultic cup/pole symbolism.If there is nothing to it, someone went to a lot of trouble making a cup out of a phallus and womb for no reason.

Case in point...the word "Couple"
sound this word out and what two words do you end up with?
Cup and Pole
Esoterically the Cup or Cauldron is always symbolic of the womb and is feminine and the Rod,Staff, or Pole is always masculine and symbolic of the Phallus.
So the word couple (traditionally a man and woman) is indicative of the cup and the pole joining together in union.
...While one hand holds a flower, another a club, the third a shell, the fourth, generally the upper one, or at the right -- holds on his forefinger, extended as the cipher 1, the chakra, or discus, which resembles a ring, or a wheel, and might be taken for the nought. In his first avatar, the Matsyavatam, when emerging from the fish's mouth, he is represented in the same position.*
The ten-armed Durga of Bengal; the ten-headed Ravana, the giant; Parvati -- as Durga, Indra, and Indrani, are found with this attribute, which is a perfect representation of the May-pole.**
The Earth was often called the Arga : this was imitated by the mystic Meru. The north pole was the Linga, surrounded by seven dwips or zones one above another, and seven seas, or rivers, or waters, and an outward one called Oceanus. In this Oceanus the whole floated. Thus, the earth, mother Eartha, became the Argha or Ione, and Meru the pole, the Linga....
...And it has induced me to review the early history of Buddhism, and to make me suspect that, in its early works, the Linga is not to be found, and that it only came into use when the division between the followers of the Linga and Ioni began to arise, which caused the horrible civil and religious wars, noticed in my former volume.
