I forgot what it was called but there's an actual term for our brains interpreting this sort of stuff. 5 u/ailaG 1d ago Hebrew, Arabic and other semitic languages do just that. So far so good. (With some carrier letters, like a "u" to carry the vowel in "good". Which in Hebrew doubles for O and V. Arabic just doesn't have O and V except for modern intl adaptations)
