%
% \section{Introduction}
%
% The Phoenician alphabet and characters is a direct ancestor of our modern day
% Latin alphabet and fonts. 
% The font presented here is one of a series of fonts intended to show how
% the modern Latin alphabet has evolved from its original Phoenician form
% to its present day appearance.
% 
% This manual is typeset according to the conventions of the
% \LaTeX{} \textsc{docstrip} utility which enables the automatic
% extraction of the \LaTeX{} macro source files~\cite{GOOSSENS94}.
%
%    Section~\ref{sec:usc} describes the usage of the package.
% Later sections, if any, contain commented code for the fonts 
% and source code for the package.
%
% \subsection{An alphabetic tree}
%
%    Scholars are reasonably agreed that all the world's alphabets are descended
% from a Semitic alphabet invented about 1600~\BC{} in the Middle 
% East~\cite{DRUCKER95}. The word `Semitic' refers
% to the family of languages used in the geographical area from
% Sinai in the south, up the Mediterranean coast to Asia Minor in the north and
% west to the valley of the Euphrates.
%
%    The Phoenician alphabet was stable by about 1100~\BC{} and the script was
% written right to left. In earlier times the writing direction was variable, 
% and so were
% the shapes and orientation of the characters. The alphabet consisted of
% 22 letters and they were named after things. For example, their first two 
% letters were called \textit{aleph} (ox), and \textit{beth} (house). 
% The Phoenician script had
% only one case --- unlike our modern fonts which have both upper- and 
% lower-cases. In modern terms the Phoenician abecedary was: \\
% A B G D E Y Z H $\Theta$ I K L M N X O P ts Q R S T \\
% where the `Y' (\textit{vau}) character was sometimes written as `F', and
% `ts' stands for the \textit{tsade} character.
%
%    The Greek alphabet is one of the descendants of the Phoenician alphabet;
% another was Aramaic which is the ancestor of the Arabic, Persian and Indian 
% scripts.
% Initially Greek was written right to left but around the 6th C~\BC{} became 
% \textit{boustrophedron}, meaning that the lines 
% alternated in direction. At about 500~\BC{} the writing direction stabilised 
% as left to 
% right. The Greeks modified the Phoenician alphabet to match the vocalisation
% of their language. They kept the Phoenician names of the letters, suitably
% `greekified', so \textit{aleph} became the familar \textit{alpha} and 
% \textit{beth} became \textit{beta}. At this
% point the names of the letters had no meaning. Their were several variants
% of the Greek character glyphs until they were finally fixed in Athens in
% 403~\BC.
% The Greeks did not develop a lower-case 
% script until about 600--700~\AD.
%
%    The Etruscans based their alphabet on the Greek one, and again modified it.
% However, the Etruscans wrote right to left, so their borrowed characters are 
% mirror images of the original Greek ones. Like the Phoenicians, the Etruscan
% script consisted of only one case; they died out before ever needing a
% lower-case script. The Etruscan script was used up until the first century 
% \AD, even though the Etruscans themselves had dissapeared by that time.
% 
%
%    In turn, the Romans based their alphabet on the Etruscan one, but as they 
% wrote left to right, the characters were again mirrored (although the early
% Roman inscriptions are boustrophedron). 
%
%    As the English alphabet is descended from the Roman alphabet
% it has a pedigree of some three and a half thousand years.
%
% \section{The \Lpack{protosem} package} \label{sec:usc}
%
%    The Proto-Semitic alphabet provided by this package is probably
% a precursor to the Phoenician alphabet. As far as I can make out 
% from Davies~\cite{DAVIES97}, Drucker~\cite{DRUCKER95} and 
% Healey~\cite{HEALEY90}, there may have been several proto- alphabets
% being referred to as Proto-Siniatic or Proto-Canaanite for example.
% I have taken what I can from the sources available to me and
% produced a sort of generic Proto-Semitic font.
%
%    The alphabet consisted of 23 letters, some of which came in two
% different forms. The writing direction was normally left to right
% but could also be vertical.

% Table~\ref{tab} lists, in what I hope is the Proto-Semitic alphabetic order, the
% transliterated values of the characters and, where I know it, the name and
% meaning of the corresponding Proto-Semitic letter.
%    Several of the glyphs are obviously based on Egyptian hieroglyphs.
% There seems to be general agreement that the glyphs I have coded as: \\
% |a b g d e w H T y k l m n o r S t| \\
% fall into this category. 
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\protofamily}
%    This command selects the \thisfont{} font family. The family name is |proto|.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\textproto}
% The command |\textproto{|\meta{text}|}| typesets \meta{text} in the
% \thisfont{} font.
%
%    I have provided two means of accessing the \thisfont{} glyphs:
% (a) by ASCII characters, and (b) via commands. These are shown in
% Table~\ref{tab}. The columns headed `Alternative' are for accessing 
% an alternative form of the glyph, if it exists.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\translitproto}
% The command |\translitproto{|\meta{commands}|}| will typeset the
% transliteration of the \thisfont{} character commands (those in the
% fifth and seventh columns of Table~\ref{tab}).
%
% \DescribeMacro{\translitprotofont}
%   The font used for the transliteration is defined by this macro,
% which is initialsed to an italic font (i.e., |\itshape|).
