Ethiopic Syllable No

In Amharic, fidel no is the syllable n followed by o.

Fidel is the Amharic name for Ethiopic writing; each sign joins a consonant and vowel.

South Arabian/Sabaic writing is attested in the Horn by the 1st millennium BCE; Aksumite inscriptions include royal texts, dedications, seals and object labels. Local Ethiopic writing appears in the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE. By the 4th century CE, vowel notation had made the script an abugida (signs combine consonants and vowels); it evolved gradually, though how is debated. Geʿez became a language of worship; its script was adapted for Amharic, Tigrinya and others.
