No, I think that Stephen could be right. The script could be an abjad (some vowel sounds are not written) and some sounds might be encoded using more than one "glyph". In particular, I think there is ample evidence for the second point (e.g. the various e, ee, eee, in, iin, iin sequences). I also don't see any particular reason to a-priori exclude that it could be an abjad.
Well I've said that too, many times, that it might be an abjad, based on patterns I saw in the text. Hasn't every major researcher since the beginning said it might be an abjad?
The statement by itself doesn't mean anything. One has to demonstrate whether or not it is an abjad.
