Ethiopic and Cherokee syllabaries -- a case
<strong>of</strong> parallelism
n.d. TMs, 8L. I2.1
A formal paper with MS. corrections. The author finds the syllabaries similar in principle, but
different in intent; the Ethiopic is a complication <strong>of</strong> the Minaeo-Sabaean, while the Cherokee is an
attempt at simplification. Phonetic equivalences <strong>of</strong> the two syllabaries are arranged tabularly at the
end.
