Acrophony
Acrophony (from the Greek akros = point and phonein = to tone) is the method of naming the letters of a script after an object or an animal that begins with the same letter. An example of this is the Phoenician script :
- aleph = beef
- beth = house
- gimel = camel
- dalet = door leaf
This is the first step in converting a character font to a letter font.
