    Sorry to fact-check a pretty good shitpost, but I don’t think lowercase t existed until later

        Okay, S and Q I kinda get, but what the heck happened with R?

          These came from a sort of “this sounds like” alphabet. Like if you wanted to write D but drew a picture of a dog, because that starts with a D sound. Or when someone on the phone says “A as in Adam.”

          So the word for dude with a tiny hat started with an R sound, just like the word for the A sounded like an A sound.

        I have the theory that vampires hating garlic is a rumour spread by vampires themselves because they really love garlic. Getting the humans to season themselves is a genius move.
