Until recently, I wasn’t aware that Arabic & Hebrew both rarely (if ever) used punctuation. How do sentences manage to not run into each other? Apparently its usage is a more modern occurence.

think about trying to write english without any punctuation if your sentences use a certain structure then it will actually be quite easy to understand even without periods or commas its only with more complicated structures that you need punctuation to delineate between clauses and my understanding is that arabics structure is more rigid to the point that unlike english there is no concern about clauses being ambiguous
(paragraph above written with no punctuation for effect)
