Language assignments and D-PLACE matches for Georgian societies #273

Societies 62463, 62464, 15797, 62461 have all been matched to EA society Georgians (Ci8), with this note from Kate: "Unclear which of GJB 15797, 62463, 62464, 62461 is best match to Ci8 "Georgians". For now, all matched."

I think that is fine-- however, it seems that dialect imer1248 was also assigned to all of these societies because that is the dialect assigned to the EA society on D-PLACE. For society 62464, Imereti, this dialect seems appropriate, but I think the other Georgian societies-- Guria, Kakheti, and Kartli-- should be assigned dialects guri1246, kaxe1238, and imer1247, respectively.

I guess there is also a case for only matching Ci8 to the Imereti GJB society because of the language. I'm going to leave all four societies matched to Ci8 for now, with their different dialect matches intact, unless @kirbykat thinks matching to Imereti only based on language is appropriate.
