A mnemonic system attached to the order and names of the letters of the alphabet has been suggested, but no single, comprehensive model has ever taken hold in the realm of academic acceptance. Several of the letter-names have constellation analogs which directs our attention to possible preliterate traditions of calendrics. Some scholars now support models which allow for a preliterate, prehistoric, and thus pre-civilization tradition of calendar signs having influence on the physical shapes of certain letters of the alphabet and the characters of other writing systems. Prof. Gordon's identification of a lunar zodiac in the Ugarit cuneiform alphabet pushes forward our appreciation of the manifold functions of the alphabet. So far, it has been personal folly to attempt the reconstruction of this alphabet mnemonic.
Mnemonics are integral learning aids.

A significant difficulty with this interpretation, as well as other ancient abecedaries, is the apparent disregard for a potential mnemonic contained in the order of the letter-names of the alphabet. Clearly the phonemic alphabet provided more than just a simple way of writing a name. Academics have unjustly slighted the erudite contributions of Dr. Moran.
