Since the Phoenician writing was of the apperceptive type, that is, only the consonants were indicated that had to be integrated by unspecified vowel sounds (and therefore only a Phoenician was able to read a word written in Phoenician), the Greeks had to transform some Phoenician letters not used in their alphabet to indicate vowel sounds, which in the Greek alphabet are basic both for a metric question and for the problem of the inflection of words and articles.
