    Mark,
 
    Thank you very much. I am new to the Internet, and I cannot stop wondering how much information is available - even Brittanica!   Sincerely,   Adriana

The article in the online Brittanica covers it adequately:

http://www.britannica.com/bcom/eb/article/3/0,5716,119413+13 ,00.html

Paul Cubberley, in his chapter in Daniels and Bright's The World's Writing System,  p. 346, seems to believe the extra consonants were based on Armenian exemplars, while the extra vowels were based on Greek variants.

He gives this etymological note on p. 347: "Glagolitic, (glagólitica) from glagol-, (word, say').

Mark.
