Tartessian alphabet vs. semi-syllabary.
Hi Tautintanes,

Although typologically intermediate between a pure alphabet and a semi-syllbary, I believe that Tartessian remains technically an alphabet, since it indicates each vowel distinctly. Perhaps a redundant alphabet; I wouldn't call it inefficient, because redundancy can be quite efficient: With consonant and vowel letters reinforcing each other, it in effect contained an error correction mechanism. kwami (talk) 00:38, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

As a 'layman' in this respect, I think some comparison with the script system of Karthago as well as Nordic runic script could be interesting (if somebody know about if or has valid references). To me the resemblance with runic script is obvious here. I have also read somewhere that runic may be derived from Karthagian script. But maybe rather it could orgine from the Biscay/currrent Basque/Asturian etc. areas of Northern Spain. There were trade routes from this area to Scandinavia during the late Stone and Bronze Ages I believe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.68.179.250 (talk) 14:12, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Joke, isn't it?
At the end of the second paragraph on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleohispanic_scripts#Tartessian here, we read in parentheses: "This Etruscan convention is preserved in the English, not only in qu for queen, but also the letter names cee, kay, cue/qu."

I am fairly well convinced that this is merely a joke, but on the off-chance that Etruscan letter names influenced Latin letter names, reflected in later letter names--and because if it's a joke it's a clever one!--I'm merely adding this comment rather than deleting the sentence.
