Iberian alphabet
Swiggers (111) assumes that the
Iberic scripts are the result of a fusion of the
Punic and
Greek alphabetic traditions. The fact that the Iberian scripts are both alphabetic and syllabic is probably due to the nature of Iberian phonology. There are, as a matter of fact, "pro-Greek and pro-Semitic camps" (Daniels/Bright 110).
