There is a datalistic reason for that, for nobody will take you seriously if you come up with a word that neither a god nor an ant can relate to, let alone a person. One wonders whether reading hieroglyphs is a sin or not. Given the Islamic and iconoclastic reservation about looking at images, it should be like procreation for humanity, done only if it prevents annihilation, but avoided otherwise. But not all hieroglyphs are sinful, and some are more honorable than others. To balance the past with the future, let us come up with this compro...
