"Motherless" abjads?

Good day, qalamites.
I am seeking for an example of an abjad which uses vowel diacritics
(optionally, of course) but does *not* use matres lectionis.
Did such a thing ever exist?
As far as I understand, none of the modern abjads (Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac)
fits the description: they all use consonant letters to spell vowels.
Thanks everybody in advance.
