I used this gift my very self?
(testing my powers of guesswork)
[Indo-European languages both, no cheating by using dictionaries or online translators. We shall now go beyond Indo-European.]
Aleph is the ox, turn it upside down to its original form and see the horns.
Beth is the house, turn its modern form on its side and see its origin in the form of the roof.
Gimel, there in the form of the Greek capital letter you see the camel after 4,000 years.
Gamla in Aramaic is both "camel" and "rope". That's how the essay of the ancient notorious Nazorean on how to invest excess wealth got misinterpreted as a nonsense joke about squeezing a camel through the eye of a needle.
In Spanish, inability to read is "analfabetismo". The truth of the matter is embedded in millenia of the evolution of civilization: if you can't read, you likely have been cheated out of ox, house, and implicitly even camel.
If you "can't read the advertisement", USA politicians are dialing your number for the upcoming election, and LRL manufacturers are dialing your credit card number if you give it to them.
