Serto (Syriac scripts, <scripts by form>, ... Components (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Syriac script that appeared around the 8th century CE, taking on a more cursive appearance than Estrangela. By 700 CE, Serto adopted Greek vowel letters, modifying them with diacritics typically written above the consonant letter that the vowel follows. In cases where the consonant letter takes up a lot of vertical space, the vowel diacritic can occur under it.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Variant van het Syrische schrift die rond de 8e eeuw n.Chr. ontstond en een meer cursieve vorm had dan het Estrangela. Rond 700 n.Chr. heeft het Serto de Griekse klinkerletters overgenomen. Deze werden aangepast met diakritische tekens, die doorgaans boven de medeklinker vóór de betreffende klinker kwamen te staan. Wanneer de medeklinker veel verticale ruimte innam, kan het diakritisch teken ook eronder worden geplaatst.
