From Mot (god)
Phoenician sources
A Phoenician account survives in a paraphrase of the Greek author Philo of Byblos by Eusebius,[1] who writes of a Phoenician historian named Sanchuniathon. In this account Death is a son of Elus and counted as a god, as the text says in speaking of Elus/Cronus:
And not long after another of his sons by
Pluto.
But earlier in a philosophical creation myth Sanchuniathon has referred to great wind which merged with its parents and that connection was called 'Desire' (πόθος)[2]
From its connection Mot was produced, which some say is mud, and others a putrescence of watery compound; and out of this came every germ of creation, and the generation of the universe. So there were certain animals which had no sensation, and out of them grew intelligent animals, and were called "Zophasemin", that is "observers of heaven"; and they were formed like the shape of an egg. Also Mot burst forth into light, and sun, and moon, and stars, and the great constellations.
The form Mot (Μώτ) [3] here is not the same as Muth (Μοὺθ)[4] which appears later.

Letters
The shapes of the Archaic Etruscan and Neo-Etruscan letters had a few variants, used in different places and/or in different epochs. Shown above are the glyphs from the Unicode Old Italic block, whose appearance will depend on the font used by the browser. These are oriented as they would be in lines written from left to right. Also shown are SVG images of variants shown as they would be written right to left, as in most of the actual inscriptions.[10][11]
