[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] Yom [QUOTE] As to writing, Mr. Winters is mistaken. I'm not aware of any ancient syllabic Saharan writing system. The Ethiopian writing system ultimately comes from the Egyptian hieroglyphs through the Proto-Sinaitic script. This further developed into what is called the Epigraphic South Arabian script (but the first examples of this script are found in Ethiopia and Eritrea, not Yemen), and then into Ge'ez, which became an "Abugida" (a semi-syllabic script where each consonant can be given an inherent vowel) in the 4th century, like the Indian Brahmic scripts (which may have been an inspiration).
