• Compared to Estrangela, Serta script is designed to be more cursive, meaning that it can, and should, be written as one continuous movement of the pen from right to left - something which we have brought out many times during these lessons on the Aramaic Alphabet. Letters are joined together when possible.
• Like the Ashuri and Estrangela scripts before it, Serta has continued in use right up to the present day. Even today, a small number of professional scribes around the world continue to write Peshitta manuscripts in the Serta script. This is a testimony to how God’s word has remained in continuous existence down through not only centuries, but millennia.
