## In Jewish tradition

in lessons, ancient picture writing, or any strange picture-like marks

### Examples

- The linear characters in Egypt are earlier than the hieroglyphics, though a few of the forms may ultimately have been fused with the latter.

- Did it spring from the Egyptian liioro- fflyphics, or from the cuneiform systems of the Assyrians, or from the hieroglyphics of the Hittites, or from the Syllabary (Mordell, The Origin of Letters and Numerals according to Sefer Yetzirah (1914)) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/H/hieroglyphic/#x2)
