Well, yes. But more specifically why was the unification ill-advised for
Peter Kirk in the case of Coptic and would not be in the case of
Phoenician. Unless, of course, one justs follows the trend and says
Coptic unification was ill-avised because it has been disunified.
Somehow, I feel I should not have asked since the argument often seems
to be, in the case of neighbouring historical scripts, genealogy and
user community feeling (as interpreted by the proposers).
