I think we should use the terms in the standard: CAPITAL and SMALL.
Mxedruli Georgian has only small letters. I have numerous photocopies of
books from Georgia dealing with the Xucuri script in which Xucuri capitals
are used with Mxedruli smalls throughout the text in the normal way
capitals are used, namely at the beginnings of sentences and proper names.
The coding conventions of Georgian in our standard are completely and
entirely correct.
