I'm doing something that involves the classical elements and I'm looking for symbols for the traits the elements were said to have-- warm, cold, wet, and dry. I searched around and all I found was one use of "D." to represent dry or drying and this one chart with some symbols that seems to have shown up once and then been copied in a few places.
Are there symbols for these concepts, and if so, what are they?
I'd also love some symbols relating to the products of the elements interacting-- for example I found a symbols ashes that looks like an E with an elongated middle leg. Does anyone know any of those, or any general good sources for these kinds of symbols?

like I said, I searched, but I couldn't find the ones I really wanted, the ones representing cold, warm, wet, and dry

I found this and another picture, can anyone verify the validity of these symbols for the traits (not the elements)? These seem to lead back to one guy and I think he might have made them up.

>>18228584

I don't remember seeing symbols for them either

OK thanks, I was leaning towards a different interaction setup, now I know that's what I'll go with
and hey, at least I found out through my searches that salt is both derivative and ascendant because of the fire of the earth
