SOL RE LA MI

ISRAEL OL_M
Which indicates to me that it's truly time to buy a vowel because... Esther:
Therefore, since she is like the ground of the universe, she does not become unclean in her place and anyone who removes anything from her is liable, according to the opinion of the House of Shammai, who said: "A beehive is like the ground" (qarqa' 'olam), and Esther is a beehive to sting Haman and his seed. . . . And according to the context of Scripture (pishtan shel devarim), she was taken completely by force. . . and she went before Ahasuerus to deliver herself for the sake of her flock. . . and saving a life overrides every other consideration.
This is what is meant by "Esther was like the ground," since Israel was called earth and ground and possession, as it is written,"for you shall be the most desired of lands" (Mal 3:12).
Therefore the sages said: "Generations come and go" (Eccl 1:4) -- this refers to the Gentiles; "but the earth remains forever" (ibid.) -- this is Israel. Therefore this is what they were referring to when they said that Esther was like the ground. Since she was the ground of the universe, the universe (i.e. Israel, 'olam), would stay forever, protected by Esther.Esther in Medieval Garb: Jewish Interpretation of the Book of Esther in the Middle Ages, pg. 40
Sol [סול] + Re [רה] (G-D) alludes to the light as a ray of sunlight, whose sum is 301, fire [אש]. For starters.
Rolling along, what *is* the game famous for "buying vowels"?
Wheel of Fortune:
Wheel of Fortune (often known simply as Wheel[a]) is an American television game show created by Merv Griffin that debuted in 1975. The show features a competition in which contestants solve word puzzles, similar to those used in hangman, to win cash and prizes determined by spinning a giant carnival wheel.

Eh? Based on Hangman, and -- Lucky! -- the required vowel rolled right in with the footnote, which generates an informational blurb by hovering over it:
"The simplified title is often used by host Pat Sajak on-air and has been used instead of the full title in numerous promotional materials for the show."
The funny thing is that I only infrequently watched the show, and that was decades ago. Even though it's iconic and everyone knows Pat Sajak for being the host, I've always remembered him from beforetime, when he was the weatherman at Channel 4 (NBC in LA). Spin the wheel, the 4 winds of heaven, NES W:
"Rose of the Winds"
Shoshanat haRuchot:
שושנת הרוחות
Look how that just rolled right back on its own to the first line of the thread: Directional indicator.
And even to Comment 4, which is the photo of the star of Endurance, the North Star.
You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
To paraphrase Maria,
Sol-Re-La-Mi and so on are only the tools we use to build a song. Once you have them in your head you can sing different tunes, by mixing them up. Like this.
