Excuse me, but I think you are wrong with "Glagolitic".  Isn't
that the alphabet that Cyrill devised before he made up the current
Cyrillic alphabet?  If so, it is *not* based on the Greek alphabet
in any way whatsoever.  It was Cyril's (or whatever the hell his
name is in English) next alphabet - Cyrillic - that was based on
Greek.

Am I not correct?
