      It is not close to being phonetic. It is however quite consistent which is what you were probably thinking of.

          I am not sure about the definition of the word but look up Georgian, 33 letters, 33 sounds. Each letter has one and only one sound, which never ever changes despite the position in the word or the surrounding letters
