looking at aeridanish runes is like looking at georgian and armenian and going 'yeah i see how these are related to latin scripts'
time to do some science

Today on Postbusters...
Exhibit A:

[01:37] <+kalassak> the cool thing about armenian is it has familiar forms (such as q)
[01:37] <+kalassak> which mean something entirely different
[01:37] <+kalassak> i'm not quite sure if that's because of something like cherokee
[01:38] <+kalassak> or the general feel of armenian is similar to latin such that the shapes end up similar
[01:38] <+kalassak> or maybe even weird evolutions
[01:38] <+kalassak> of changing letter pronunciations
not to mention rotated letterforms or anything fancy like that (n -> u + squiggle maybe?)
The correlation just doesn't stack up.
So what do you think Jamie? I think this myth is confirmed...
