| | Whereas Sabaean, as most other Semitic scripts, was written from right to left, by 400 AD Ge'ez was written from left to right. | | | Written from left to right, Ethiopic script consists primarily of around 30 consonants, each of which is modified by combining with a set of seven vowels, also known as 'orders'. | | | Due to the structural similarity of Ethiopic script to Indic scripts, many scholars have speculated about a possible Indian influence which could have helped turn the originally consonantal alphabet into an 'alphasyllabary'. |

| | Another feature that marks Ethiopic unlike other Proto-Canaanite-derived scripts is that it is written from left to right (versus right to left in Hebrew and Arabic). | | | Some scholars have in fact proposed that Ethiopic's vowel marking system was originated from Indian influence, but I think that it is highly likely that the system was developed in situ especially since many other Semitic scripts were already experimenting with marking vowels. | | | In a way, his is very similar to Brahmi-derived scripts. |

| | Fidel, the Ethiopic syllabary, on the other hand, is highly regular and has a quite clearly defined set of vowel markings which were *added* to a base consonant/radical. | | | It seems that what we have in the Ethiopic system is not a sort of pre-alphabetic syllabary, but an outright further development of an alphabet--the Sabean alphabet which, like Hebrew and Arabic had no vowel representation. | | | This problem of ambiguity usually occurs because it is not clear whether a consonant letter is a sadis (6th) form followed by an independent vowel form, or a syllable made up of the consonant and following vowel form. |
