That's not intentional, but looking at Georgian at Omniglot I can certainly see
the resemblance. It would be even more pronounced if Georgian didn't have
ascenders and descenders all over the place.

I had no particular model in mind when designing the shapes, tho some particular
glyphs are "stolen" - eg. the "h" sign is inspired by yogh.
