he symbol that is used for the pronunciation of parts of a word represents a combination (ba) of a consonant sound (b) and a vowel sound(a). This combination is one type of syllable. When a writing system employs a set of symbols each one representing the pronunciation of a syllable, it is described as syllabic writing.
There are no purely syllabic writing systems in use today, but modern Japanese
can be written with a set of single symbols representing spoken syllables and is
consequently often described as having a (partially)
syllabic writing system, or asyllabary.
An alphabet is essentially a set of written symbols, each one representing a single type of
sound.
