What does it mean?
Hi all,
Some scholars believe that the first true alphabets developed from Egyptian Hieroglyphics; others contend that the cuneiform scripts of the Sumerians, Babylonians and Assyrians hold the key.
What does the underlined part mean in this context?
Thank you.

Anonymous hold the key.It's metaphoric. The cuneiform scripts have "the key" that "unlocks" the mystery of the origin of alphabets.
