Oera Linda alphabet is a real alphabet
Re: Oera Linda alphabet is a real alphabet
Above Macalister's Ogham script, that uses the same AOUEI vocal order as OL MS, can also be organised as a hornbook alphabet:
Or if one desires the AOUEI to be at top, as in OL MS, it can be re-ordered like this (to be read from handle to top):

Re: Oera Linda alphabet is a real alphabet
The Ogham connection is interesting.
Do you have any findings with the evolved Ogham into Old Irish, Nordic?
I link some of the basic changes here, but the main fold of the Auraicept na nÉces (Scholar’s Primer) is right on the wiki page.
I’ve detailed it elsewhere, however the Gaels claim to have developed at least Latin and Greek (from other languages predecessors) while generating the original Gaelic script, and apparently Hebrew as well, hence the similarities between the Phoenician tree with Gaelic.
Fol. 170v of the Book of Ballymote (page 361) correlates each Ogham symbol with the Old Irish equivalent, and the prior page (360) scribes many Ogham variants, thereby presenting more potential connections for your research.
A point of note in the phonetics of Ogham itself is that, traditionally, Óg meant the younger (than an elder with the same name) or young warrior, essentially given as an epithet often after the first name.
