The word 3bd is written with a rib.
What might that tell you?

Nothing
there is no connection whatsoever

=========================
The experts are right about <3>;
==========
No,
3 is at best unclear.
and I have already shown examples of 3 = s?
to Egyptian and Semitic teachers.
One of the most obvious cases is :
3_w length = Hausa ts?awô
An interesting case is
w_3 = way
Cf. Latin via < *w_s?
with archaic scheme i_a

By the way, I think *HA-FHE-SHA (*Ha(:)we(:)s-) is the state associated with
the spider in the sky, i.e. the 'sun', similar to the base of
*sa(:)we(:)-l/n- - 'warmth'.

===========
In French
"to have a spider at the ceiling"
"avoir une araignée au plafond"
is an obsolete slangish way
of saying somebody is crazy or stupid.
I was not aware the sun could be a spider !?
