It's about the Georgian alphabet. But it also discusses the archaic
upper- and lowercase character set (so Georgian is practically a
three-case alphabet!), and usage for North Caucasian languages. The
latter is what interested me: it uses extra letters, diacritcs and even
an inverted "g" for one phoneme.
Might spark a few ideas for orthography in any script...
