Saint Jake needs me to break down the Phoenician alphabet.

Just for you Saint Jake.

I have found your mystery alphabet, aka the Phoenician alphabet. Here is a printout of the 22 Unicode Code Points for the Phoenician alphabet (thank you for a useful exercise in Java programming):

𐤀𐤁𐤂𐤃𐤄𐤅𐤆𐤇𐤈𐤉𐤊𐤋𐤌𐤍𐤎𐤏𐤐𐤑𐤒𐤓𐤔𐤕

Should you need more information, please refer to this article on the Phoenician alphabet:

As in Hebrew, read right to left.

The scholars are the first to go, eh?

Saint Jake,

Our original discussion is of the Edomite. I happen to know exactly what you mean by that. I could care less about discrediting you, beyond exposing your motives regarding the Edomite. This is what some might call a racial epithet.

Irma, I get what you are saying, but St.Jake spreads misinformation. My counter to her is solid. She has no choice but to wriggle, or does she?

oooo... my....

Irma, this blog is about alphabets only because we were originally talking about Edomites and my use of Hebrew to show that the word Edom is related to Adam was disputed. Robert had first made the connection between the two words in Arabic, and I thought since St. Jake is Hebrew she would appreciate the analysis in Hebrew.

The Edomites were the arch enemies of Israel and the Old Testament says in Malachi that Israel will destroy Edom. The two names refer to the descendants of Jacob and Esau, you will remember were the 2 sons of Isaac.

When St. Jake refers to the Edomites she does so to foster division and strife, rather than unity.

St. Jake is the one who brought up hate crime. I would not put it that way, but it is not what we would call a unifying principle. More like an American version of the Israelis vs. the Palestinians, but without the guns and bombs.

Alphabets are scientifically verifiable, and I used a program to print out the Phoenician alphabet using the Unicode character representation, which is defined to include most of the world's languages, both living and dead.

All Faith is false, all Faith is true:
Truth is the shattered mirror strown
In myriad bits; while each believes
His little bit the whole to own.

The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.

Okpara, just read your post on Elders Day, am glad to hear it was a success. Nice pic, is it from the celebration?

Steve Williams Monday, August 2nd 2010 at 9:56AM

Thanks Clark. I hope I shared in the right spirit.

Irma, here is the Cherokee alphabet.

I must apologize Irma, I did not know that the doctors had made the diagnosis on you.

please forgive me, I thought your writing and thoughts were healthy.

Steve Williams Monday, August 2nd 2010 at 2:14PM

I don't know Irma, I was just thinking maybe I should write a programming text. You could review it for me.

I will continue to enjoyy the back and forth until the personal insults starts...right now I am trying to learn from what the both of you are saying as I am a total blank sheet on this topic of the two of yours. Just here to learn (smile)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

Me, I am stuck with between the meddle east and China is what got man out of the Dark Ages that were ruled by religion called the the POPE or die...and once that defience was made since they were not able to kill off all who did not believe the the earth was flat and that the earth was not the center of the universe and we could fly all the way up to heaven and come back and tell about it...and even go back into the past and find writtings in different languages with different alphbets on them and can carbin date them...well...we can all find out the truth ...

Sterv, I would not just settle for the net...this is the field that two of our site mambers deal in tis kind of science...so either of you know Dr. Ross he deals in anthropology...this is the field of science that can help you to to be a peace...I say this only because I don't trust the net as it can be bias to only some but not all of the needed infomation...(smile)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

O.K. you two...what is this about...

modern day tech...

or ancient day tech...in relationship to these alphabets...please don't forget theat every issue has more than one side...and history is not the same as what is found on the net...so what is going on here...no, "I" don't need an answer from either of you...just making a comment to both sides. (smile)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

Thanks for explaining brother Thumper. I had accepted that the Arabians invented the alphabets, but then the Cherokee Indians had their ow n alphabet which saved a lot of Americans and just a lot of lives during WWII. (smile)

The more we learn the better the need to unify as more alike than different....

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

Thanks Steve, but you know "I" am computer brain dead. lol (smile)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

again robert...

YOUR LIFE...

YOUR CHOICE...THEREFORE YOUR SHORT COMINGS ARE NOT ON ME...(OFLM BIG BLACK AO)

(S-M-I-L-E)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

Steve, you sure do have alot of confidence in me.lol...but if you put it in layman's terms, I am sure I can understand it...and if it is in any way something related to your computer probram project, "I" am sure I will be a best try out for it as it is true "I" am computer brain dead..lol (smile)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

Steve my N.D.Buddism is taken from a dead language...it is called Sanscript and has gone from India, to China to Japan...but we now learn it in English or most of it...our prayer book is still in the dead language though. ..

again we are all more alike than different if we really want to help bring about peace on earth and good will towards mankind..."I" believe...(smile)
