I thought the Hieretic scripts didn't contain vowel sounds?They'd have had to have guessed at them ;)

You're half rightThe actual "text" of Hierglyphics used symbols as words, phonomons (kind of like cockney ryming slang) or even associative reebus meaning (something like we might use a rooster to represent a CDC).
BUT; they also used cartouches. Which were a set of symbols enclosed in a rectangle which were meant to be sounded out to form a proper name.
HOWEVER; you're right that they didn't have vowel sounds, they didn't really have consonents either. Just some sounds that were more like sylables.
