Ross,
during such a long exchange it's difficult to beware the overview.
But during the development of the text I described the problem of the inventer and also what I intended to allow as his "assbridges".
I described as a possible problem, that the inventer probably was not free to take his desired words. Some words, that he intended to use as "names" in letters, couldn't be used for technical problems, perhaps cause the given letters wasn't used for the specific meanings in the language of his time.
If you will try to repeat his experiment, you'll see that you've "his" difficulties. Try to take 12 following letters (A-L, if you want) of our language, and use the English vocabulary and try to connect 12 body parts to them (the body parts must start with the specific letters and don't forget, somehow they must look sorted, and don't forget, the pupils must have some fun cause your names).
When you'll ready, you'll probably will perceive, that your result doesn't look better as the ABC-Man in the old Phoenecian alphabet.
So: I didn't say, that Lamed means leg in Hebrew language. I thought a little more complicated. I thought of assbridges, possibly lost special-meanings of words etc.. There is a lot of time between 18th/19th century BC, a lot of word-changes might have happen.
