The Old Slavonic Glagolitic writing is essentially based on the same principle of the paradigmatic dependence of the newly created writing on the Greek prototype system as in the Coptic, Gothic, and Old Georgian alphabets.

in inventing Classical Armenian writing, Mashtots totally changed the graphics of the prototype system, resorting to different graphic techniques in shaping corresponding characters of the newly created writing. In this way all external links with the Greek prototype are severed and a semblance of the complete independence and originality of the newly created writing is created.
