The Phoenician alphabet was an actual alphabet, consisting of less than two dozen letters, where each letter represented a single sound. Cuneiform consists of around 800 symbols, most of which represent either an entire word or a single syllable.
This, for example, is an inscription left by the Sumerian king Ur-Nammu (or Ur-Namma) at the dedication of a temple to the god Nanna (as reproduced in A Manual of Sumerian Grammar and Texts by John L. Hayes).
