So A came from animal, B from bag, C from chaise longue, D from Fish, E from person, F from spoon, G from stick. Fascinating.

It worked for the little song they sang..."🎶animal, bottle, snake, fish, man; round stick, u stick, fallen ladder, brand..." I'm pretty sure it all rhymed and scanned in Proto-Sinaitic.
