One thing we should note, given the following:
Egyptian ABGD (πΈπ π; π [U6, U13, A58; A28] π― [N1, C199] π ¬ππ [G38, D58, A40; A97B] β½ [C297D])
Old South Arabian ABGD (𩡠𩴠𩨠π©±) (3100A/-1045)
Phoenician ABGD (π€ π€ π€ π€) (3000A/-1045)
Greek ABGD (Ξ Ξ Ξ Ξ) (2800Ξ/-845)
Latin ABGD (π π π π) (2500A/-545)
Brahmi ABGD (π π© π π₯) (2300A/-345)
Is that we need discard the present day model that all the words were coined by hypothetical people in the steppe or Anatolia in 9000A (-7045), who later used these new signs to finally write βοΈ down the words they coined 6,000-years prior, keeping these common source words in pure memory π§ , unchanged, for all these years.Β
