Paleo-Hebrew was ancient Israel’s early alphabet, written right to left.
It renders Moses as Mem, Shin, He—M-Sh-H.
Old pictographs hint: Mem water, Shin tooth, He behold.
These echoes suit the tale: drawn from water, called at Sinai.
Surviving Paleo-Hebrew appears on ostraca, seals, and coins—not Exodus papyri.
Later, square Hebrew replaced it, but M-Sh-H still reads Moshe.
