If you look closely at the letters of a sefer Torah (Torah scroll), you will see that many of the letters are topped by small spikes, called tagin or ketarim, the Aramaic and Hebrew words for “crowns.” At times, they are also called zayins, since they resemble the Hebrew letter zayin (ז), coming out of the top of the letter.

When Moses ascended on High, he found the Holy One, Blessed be He, sitting and attaching crowns to the letters of the Torah. Moses said before G‑d: Master of the Universe, who is preventing You [from giving the Torah without these additions?] G‑d said to him: There is a man who is destined to be born after several generations, and Akiva ben Yosef is his name; from each and every point of these crowns, he is destined to derive heaps upon heaps of halachot. [It is for his sake that the crowns must be added to the letters of the Torah.]

In other words, there are many laws and parts of the Oral Torah that are hinted at by way of these small crowns.
