The origins and transitions of A and B are particularly interesting because the Egyptian-influenced Semitic alphabet as further developed by the Phoenicians, latter-day Canaanites, was passed to the Greeks, probably as early as the 12th century B.C. and certainly by the 9th century B.C. From the Greeks the simplified writing system entered Western culture by the name alphabet, a combination word for the Greek A and B, alpha and beta.”
(The letter O is believed to have originally been derived from the Egyptian Heiroglyph for ‘eye’–we can trace its origin back to the Semitic Ayn ‘eye.’ At that time, it represented a consonant rather than a vowel–it was the Greeks who first used the letter-form for the vowel sound made using the circular shape of the mouth with which it is now associated).
