Final note:

I will therefore not include the #Armenian,
#Georgian, and #Caucasian #Albanian #alphabets in this project because of this.

Time to move on to the other #Greek -derived scripts.

However, I am not convinced that the letter forms actually are derived from it, even from its cursive forms, as they differ too greatly, especially when drawing in comparison with other Greek-derived scripts such as #Coptic and #Cyrillic.
