But in the case of the (paleo) Hebrew, its very alphabet (i.e., its

Yes, and it is equally true of our alphabet, which is as much derived from palaeo-Hebrew as the more modern Hebrew alphabet is. With some of our letters it is still obvious in the forms: "O" is derived from a picture of an eye (Hebrew `ayin, also a circle in palaeo-Hebrew), "M" is derived from a picture of water (waves) (Hebrew mem/mayim).

So what?
