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'.
