Christian Cooke a �crit :
Surely a cipher is by definition "after the event", i.e. there must be the parent script before the child. Does it not follow that, by John's reasoning, if one is no more than a cipher of the other then it is Hebrew that is the cipher and so the only way Phoenician and Hebrew can be unified (a suggestion you'll have to assume is suitably showered with smileys :-) is for the latter to be deprecated and the former encoded as the /real/ parent script?
What is so important about genealogy ?
P. A. (immunity of the ill-informed also requested)
