WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
פב״פ and אב״א
These abbreviations describe relational configurations using body-orientation language. פנים בפנים is “face to face”; אחור באחור “back to back.” In Lurianic texts the phrases can become highly technical, but the surface words should remain immediately translatable.
