Sefer Yetzirah 6:1 indicates that there are 3 mother letters א, מ, ש (aleph, mem, shin) which may be pronounced. Significantly, it doesn't tell us that there are 4 mother letters which are not pronounced: the mothers of reading (imos ha'keri'ah)1; they are the letters א, ה, ו, י (aleph, hey, vav, yud). Interestingly these letters comprise the divine name Ehevi. Ehevi is the divine name associated with the left side of the quasi-sefirah Da'at, and with the origin of the divine feminine principle.
