The mother script is probably the southern Sinai or Wadi el-Hol script, written in about 1,700 B.C.E. by Aramaeans who worked either in the copper mines of the southern Sinai or were mercenaries in an Egyptian army in the Western Desert.
That would be the grandmother. :-)
I also think that your attitude is that of a Hellenist or Indo-Europeanist, who looks at everything from the perspective of Athens.
Think what you like.
Semitics is "Praeparatio Hellenika"--its other aspects are less important, and hence not to be emphasized in computerization or anything else.
I cannot make sense of this at all.
Not all roads lead to Athens, Michael Everson--some of them go elsewhere
