Alternatives to alphabet?
#3
I think it's an alphabet that's been made a bit harder to read by using two forms for several letters. But actually that's what we do as well with lower and upper case - you could say our alphabet is a double set of characters as well. So that would still make it an alphabet, I guess, even though some might call it a cipher. 

It could also be an alphabet mixed with a large number of abbreviations, but that would still make it an alphabet.

I think to really get out of the realm of alphabets, you'd have to assume a fully coded text, where for example each character stands for a step in a process (cfr Don's theory).
