Ahh, well, there you go :). Since Hebrew letters open towards the left,
and a lot of Devanagari letters do also, i can see where one might think
it would go right to left :).

It seems though that like Brahmi, Devanagari was always written left to
right. With brahmi, there are a few examples of it running right to left,
but the vast majority are left to right. WIth things like direction, it
seems to me scripts are conservative, so it's no surprise to me Devanagari
kept the left to right orientation.
