There wasn't a Devanagari question mark to make a glottal stop out of, but the Latin glottal stop was added to Devanagari anyway. > Still, even with potential glyph unifications of distinct characters, > if Phoenician is unifiable with Hebrew, one should be able > to come up with a system for Phoenician that would incorporate > the richness of the Hebrew point and cantilation marks.

The points are just accents; add them to the Phoenician characters at about the same locations. When descenders get in the way, either move the accent or transform it, ala LATIN SMALL LETTER D WITH CARON. If anyone really cares, they could be added without problem, whether or not Phoenician is unified with Hebrew. -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
