Keep building on this subject!
Mazin, take a break.
I had a look at the link, and it does seem to confirm what A ke bono kane kotto said. Looking at the table of kana vs kanji vs Hebrew vs Greek alphabet, the kana look so much closer to the Hebrew and Greek alphabets than to the Chinese characters from which the kana presumably derive that it is truly disconcerting. I wouldn't surprised if the kana were developed by combining Chinese characters with Hebrew, Phoenician and/or Greek alphabet.
