>It's phonetic, AFAIK. Each letter is one keystroke. I assume it is the same way as Hebrew. The only problem with Hebrew would be to put vowels, but they are usually omitted anyway, though it makes a reading process harder (especially for non-native speakers).

Yeah - I leaned that from a friend of my oldest nestling that goes to UH. There are a two more letters in that alphabet. I learned they have paste ons for the keyboard. The dates are entered left to right (even for the Islamic Calendar) but the words are right to left. The letters (rhunes) are really neat.
