Personally I think although many scholars may regard Phoenician, Moabite, Old
Hebrew, Samaritan, and Old Aramaic:as one "writing system" - for contemporary
political reasons some descendents of the users of those scripts might take
offence if these old scripts were lumped together under the name "Hebrew" (old
or new), and no one wants that to happen.
As far as I know the only relevant community is the modern Samaritans.
We should ask them.
