If you mean are there spaces between words, no the writing system simply continues one word after another without leaving any gaps. You may think this would make the words difficult to identify, but there are always clues to help translators.

Many feminine words end in "t" (as in Arabic); plural words often end with three upright lines (indicating the plural); dual words end in -wy or -ty (indicating two of something); the signs in a word are generally grouped to fit into an invisible rectangle; and most importantly there is a whole class of signs called "determinatives" placed at the end of words to show their general meaning. All of these means are used to identify the end of a word and the start of the next.
