Some Latin words yield, when written downwards by these letters, a fitting ideogram.
Example: senator, plural senatores:
The first 6 letters senato contain all 3 vowel signs e a o of the antique phonetic picture-writing in descending melody and 1 consonant of all 3 sound groups (hissing, humming, stopping sounds). This lets assume that senator is an artificial word which should indicate that in the senate were only people who knew the phonetic picture-writing.
If one turns round the series of vowels in senato, the result is sona-te "sound you". If one reads senato syllabic-wise from the back, the result is tona-se "sounds oneself" (the Latin words sonare and tonare mean "to sound"). Both are also hints to the parliament function of the senate.
The following words mostly yield a better ideogram with vertically reflected signs (i.e. stopping and humming consonants are switched = writing direction downwards and viewing the picture word from above; left picture column). This mess is caused partly by the fact that in the beginning Latin words were written partly to the left, partly to the right, partly furrow-agilely, and the phonetic picture-writing was written parallel to it (whereby one had to turn one's head either to the right or to the left to recognize the ideograms), partly probably for crytographic reasons.
Also one presumably tried to define an idea by possibly many representations, so by ideograms of different writing directions / fonts, also by the word picture in vertical latin writing, and as a verbal-conceptual compound word (see above "senator").
