oops, it seems that demotic script was developed 1000 years later than Hyksos period. So Hyksos is out, but these still might be Canaanites, or maybe there were earlier versions of rusive/handwriting script like demoitic.
Each letter was developed from a logogram of Semitic word starting with the same letter in Semitic language, e.g.
Alef - ox
Bet - house
Gimmel - camel
Dalet - door
etc.
