I just read some of the summer postings on this word. I'm not sure
I covered all of them.
Is 'abjad' an old word, found in medieval Arabic grammatical
discussions? Or is it a newer word?
I assume that the original language is Arabic, and that it can be
most correctly written in Arabic.
I ask because I am working on an online glossary of terms useful for
computerizing writing systems, that is, for so-called 'character set
work.' I have a 400-word bilingual French/English glossary, but I
need to add a third column for Hebrew equivalents.
In my list, 'abjad' will probably be the first term.
Thanks, EK
