Topic: Khutsuri


  
  Georgian alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri, collectively known as Khutsuri (ხუცური, or "church script"), were used together to write religious manuscripts, with the Asomtavruli serving as capital letters.
It was used for non-religious purposes up until the eighteenth century, when it completely replaced Khutsuri.
Georgian linguists claim that the orthography is phonemic.

 The Georgian Script
The term "Khutsuri" arose in the 13th century and involved both Mrglovani and Nuskhuri as ecclesiastic scripts in opposition to Mkhedruli as a non-ecclesiastic script.
Nuskhuri (Khutsuri) (with Mrglovani letters for capitalisation) is still used in the Georgian Orthodox Church.
Parallel use of Mrglovani and Nuskhuri (Khutsuri) was common in 10th-11th centuries.

 Georgian
It originated as the secular derivative of a form called khutsuri (ecclesiastical) that had both uppercase and lowercase pairs.
Although no longer use in most modern texts, the khutsuri style is still used for liturgical purposes; the Unicode standard encodes the uppercase form of khutsuri as well as the lowercase letters of modern Georgian.
The khutsuri style is included in the Georgian Extended Unicode subrange, while the mkhedruli style is in the Basic Georgian Unicode subrange.

 Georgian Alphabet
The contemporary Georgian script is known as mkhedruli ('military') in contrast to the earlier khutsuri ('ecclesiastical') script.
The oldest surviving examples of mkhedruli date from the 11-12th centuries, and it may well be that the script was a development of a cursive form of khutsuri.
These are given above, together with the transliteration system (Apridonidze-Chkhaidze, Institute of Linguistics.

 Re: Ancient Northwest Semitic Script (was Re: why Aramaic now)
Compare Khutsuri (comprising Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri) and Mkhedruli Georgian.
I think the "real problem" here arises from the fact that some scholars, familiar with Hebrew, find it easier to read early Semitic texts in square script than in the originals.
The same thing happens with Runic and Gothic and Glagolitic and Khutsuri, and indeed Cuneiform, where Latin is often preferred (regardless of the structure of the writing systems).

 The Georgian Script
The next stage in the development ofthe alphabet-- Nuskhuri or Khutsuri (Nuskha-Khutsuri) -- has more squared forms.The letters are written between four lines.
This term ("Khutsuri") arose in the thirteenth century and involved both Mrglovani and Nuskhuri as ecclesiastic scripts in opposition to Mkhedruli as a non-ecclesiastic script.
The first inscription in Mkhedruli is also found in the Sioni Church in At'eni in eastern Georgia and belongs to the period c.980 (Abramishvili and Aleksidze 1978; Aleksidze1983).

They are include for any who use the Unifont in non-X ways, or wish to help adapt hex2bdf to support these files.
The Unifont currently contains all of WGL4, all of MES-2, all of ISO-8859-*, all of CP125[0-8], all of EES (except Khutsuri Georgian), all of EUC-JP, all of BIG5 (except for private use mapped characters), and all of EUC-KR.
The hex2bdf still produces two bdf files, since the old bdf file was incorrectly labeled a charcell font while having multiple widths for characters.

It is written from left to right, and for most of us, this is a blessing.
The script is called “Mkhedruli" which means secular writing (having replaced the church writing “Khutsuri” in the 1000s AD).
To be sure, there are volumes written about the fascinating history of the Georgian language.

 Sorting It All Out : Get off my [lower] case! (or: Casing, the 1st)
Basically, the issue is that Georgian has spent many years in the Unicode Standard with two scripts encoded, despite the fact that there are three scripts existing.
As of Unicode 4.1, the plan is to finally add that third script and provide a two-way case mapping between the two older scripts (the uppercase Khutsuri and the new lowercase Nushkuri), leaving the modern (Mkhedruli) script completely caseless.
We at Microsoft are not so fortunate, because ever since Windows 2000, Microsoft has had a one-way mapping from uppercase Khutsuri to Mkhedruli, but no converse mapping from the caseless Mkhedruli to Khutsuri.

 Re: New contribution
We did this when we unified the three Syriac styles.
We did it when we disunified Khutsuri from Mkhedruli, and when we disunified Coptic from Greek.
Give or take some spelling, it's possible to take an Estrangelo Syriac text, with all its points and dots and things, and change to a different style without appreciable change.
