Newly inducted into the world of guest artisthood, here's a swirl-adorned sweetheart! To enter, research an alphabet or language - the less obvious or older the better - and find this one a name from within that alphabet/language, plus a nice fact about the language/alphabet itself. Here are a few possible places to start, though extra points are given for alphabets or languages I haven't heard of!

Hints: many alphabets, especially runic alphabets, have names for each letter or for each group of letters <3

language origin The Phonecian Alphabet
Interesting fact about said language/alphabet:

The Paleo-Hebrew alphabet was directly derived from Phoenician.
