II. Served as a basis to 'start' East Indian Mathematics which eventually fed to the Arabs that invented/discovered zero.

III. Similar in structure to Greek acrophonic, Etruscan, Southern Arabic and Sumerian systems (i.e. Systems of type A2)

Answer 2

I hope that helps!!

GOOD LUCK!! In whatever you are doing!
