LogographyIn the context of Egyptian, logograms can be divided into three categories:
|
|
AbjadLetters represent consonants without vowels.
|
|
AlphabetLetters represent consonants and vowels. |
|
AbugidaLetters represent consonants followed by a particular vowel, unless modified by additional diacritics to indicate another vowel. |
|
SyllabaryLetters represent a syllable (usually a consonant and vowel).
