	Ogham
		Although the origins of the Ogham alphabet are disputed, it is clear that the graphically innovative system has its roots in already existing alphabets, probably the runes and/or the Etruscan and Latin alphabet.
		Both systems are based on phonological and phonetic knowledge: in the case of Ogham, the vowels are in one row, dental /d[?], t/ and velar /k[?], k_w/ stops are all placed next to each other as well as fricatives /f[?], s/ and velar sounds /g[?], N/.
		At the same time, the creativity of the creators of Ogham as well as other alphabets should not be underestimated: the vowel order is probably based on the distinction front/back: back vowels /a[?], o, u/ [A, o, u] are followed by front vowels /e[?], i/.
