This proto-Sinaitic alphabet of consonants was pictographic, yet each pictograph represents a sound rather than a thing or idea.

虽然这种辅音音素字母属于象形文字，但是其只表音，不指物也不表意。

It is this proto-Sinaitic alphabet that really marks the starting point, the root of numerous modern-day alphabets, from Arabic and Hebrew to Greek and Latin.

正是这种原始西奈字母开创了今日无数的字母表，比如阿拉伯语、希伯来语、希腊语和拉丁语字母表。
