| Indeed! Even latter day Hebrew script, as we have it just now before us, is cuneiform. This is why the novice reader so easily confuses the letters ד D and ר R, consisting both  of only two similarly oriented wedges. Also the letters ה H and the ח X consisting  both of only three similarly oriented wedges (with only a tiny gap to distinguish between them).  This also, some say, is the reason why אחד EXAD ("our God is one") is written with an  enlarged ד D: to clearly distinguish it from ר R, and אחר AXER, 'another'.  Isaac Fried, Boston University On Apr 9, 2013, at 5:59 PM, Will Parsons wrote:
