A translation of “AV” is
“father”.
When the father inspected
the house that the bridegroom prepared he would let his
son know that it was time to bring his bride home.
It also reminds me of a bible parallel when Abraham sent a
servant to fetch a bride (Rebekah) for his son Isaac.
Here’s just another
interesting similarity.
Tu b'Av is the 15th of
Av. Samekh is the 15th letter in the Hebrew
alphabet.
Shown here where it is
written as a circle resembling the dance of the maidens on
Tu b’Av.
