So, I finished watching the last season of SG1 a couple of weeks ago, and realized that I never really figured out how the stargate were operated. I think that I've figured out the basics at least; a stargate contains 38 glyphs and one "point of origin" that is unique for each stargate (?). When you dial another gate, you use a code consisting of 6 glyphs marking were the gate is located, and finish it of with your own point of origin. Now, to my questions:
So... There you go :-) If someone could help me out with these questions, I would be very grateful!

- When you dial a gate using a DHD, I don't think I've ever seen a point of origin-glyph to press? Is there a unique point of origin-glyph on each DHD, or do you operate it in a different manner?
- Why does a DHD only got 38 glyphs, when a stargate got 39?
- At some points through the series, the gate on earth has been destroyed, and SGC has been forced to find a new one. If every gate has a unique point of origin-glyph, how can the earth gate still have its "Å glyph" then?
- The chevrons lock on to each glyph as a way to remember the dialed code, but which chevron remember which glyph? I've never thought about how the chevrons activate, do they follow a specific pattern or is it just random?
So... There you go :-) If someone could help me out with these questions, I would be very grateful!
