I went from your link straight to this one: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Sinaitic_script" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Sinaitic_script" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Sinaitic_script</a></p><p>...noting that the alphabet is a separate branch of the common prototype of both ancient South Arabian and Phoenician ones. ...Ancient South Arabian script (notably from Himyarite coins, c. 1st-2nd c. CE) has pronounced affinities with Aksumite script, which, along with medieval Armenian, is based on Syriac. The takeaway from here is that there is in fact a common Semitic element going on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
