Besides being 1/2 of 26, I find for 13:
 ABHB (Ahbah) Love, beloved
 AChD (Echad) One, unity
 BHW (Bohu) Waste; "void."
 HDD (Hadad) A King of Edom, associated with Tiphareth
 GY (Gi) The second two letters of the 42-letter name of God, associated with 
Chokmah
 ZW (Ziv) Glory, Splendor

Yes, well, maybe, but:

I don't see that as an advantage. Particularly not with Crowley as the
filter! What it means is that there is no way to distinguish what parts
of the book are "real" knowledge being provided by Aiwass, the Secret
Chiefs, or whoever, and which parts are merely distortions introduced by
Crowley's personality and memory. From my viewpoint, it provides just
one more reason to distrust the book as the foundation of a moral
system. (And Thelema is just as much a system of morals as is
Christianity.)
>One cannot convey in pure terms

Maybe not, but one can convey it in plain terms, and/or without cobbling
together stuff from prior sources. It's been done often enough.
Personally, I would find a restatement of these "timeless" truths in
completely new language more convincing.
