"That Jacob of Edessa based his grammar on sound is, no doubt, partly due to the fact that he had to produce his own vowel signs, and so was forced to perform the initial task of collection and analysis of forms in terms of sound. [...] He saw that sound, and not writing, was the essence of the language."
