In page Tifinagh:

"

The word tifinagh (singular tafinəq < *ta-finəɣ-t) is thought by some scholars to be a Berberized feminine plural cognate or adaptation of the Latin word Punicus 'Punic, Phoenician' through the Berber feminine prefix ti- and the root √FNƔ < *√PNQ < Latin Punicus; thus tifinagh could possibly mean 'the Phoenician (letters)'[1][2][3] or 'the Punic letters'. Others support an etymology involving the Tuareg verb efnegh 'to write'.[4] However, the Tuareg verb efnegh is probably derived from the noun Tifinagh because all the northern Berbers of Morocco, northern Algeria, Tunisia and northern Libya have a different (and probably older) verb ari ~ aru ~ ara 'to write'.[citation needed]
