Abstract:
The topic of this contribution is a hieratic ostracon published recently by Ben Haring which allegedly contains a list of words arranged according to the south Semitic sequence of letters. His hypothesis can be confirmed and some of the words can be identified as Semitic. In addition to we suggest that the words are intended as letter names which, however, did not become canonical over time.
Keywords: : Early History of the South Semitic Alphabet; Hieratic; Letter Names; Syllabic Orthography
