Notes: A pictograph is a pictorial sign or symbol. Hieroglyphs are Egyptian pictographs. A glyph is an element of writing. Transliteration is the process of mapping letters from one alphabet into
another alphabet using graphology (letter-shapes) & history (see Evolution of the English Alphabet Chart & The True Hebrew Alphabet Family Tree). 3 Transcription is the process of matching the
sounds of human speech to letters (see The Sound of Ancient Hebrew & Ancient Hebrewthe First Text Language). 4 with default a added when neededwhich is usually between 2 consonants in
Ancient Hebrew. 5 & are Old English (mid 5thCmid 12thC) & Middle English (late 11thC ~ 1470) letters. 6 as in the Scottish loch. 7 as said in Modern Jewish Hebrew, Syriac Aramaic & Arabic.
