Jewish texts (such as the Talmud and associated commentaries) have very little to no punctuation. I learned to read them with a kind of singsong melody that helps you figure out the phrasing, as is traditional. It’s so cool to think that that’s a thing that happens in other languages too!

trup really is just a musical form of punctuation.

Makes sense to me if these languages began as a recital, like a chant. They may have began as oral traditions after all.
