On page 263 of this PDF on Standard Georgian, it shows a narrow transcription of the North Wind and the Sun as narrated by a native speaker of the Georgian language.

In that transcription, the phonetics of /ɛɣiɑɾɛbinɑ/ is [ɛɣiɑɾɛbinə]

Does it mean that /ɑ/ can be realized as [ə] in some contexts?
