Dang, just lost a bunch of stuff I typed. Anyway, I found where, apparently, reformed Egyptian was a type of shorthand. Hebrew in comparison to the English language and other western languages can use 7-10 words to convey what a normal English sentence takes about 15 words to say. Apparently as stated in Mormon 9: 32, 33, in vs. 33 it states that there wasn't enough room on the plates to use Hebrew, so the reformed was an even more compact way to write. It was harder to be as exact or precise, though, as well.
