Should be outlawed...

lol, not yet. Very tempting though.

Seriously, untying something is "kagel". Any relations?

I have no idea. But we don't say "kagel" either. At least I don't.

And you guys use "y" for words like Hakop (western uses "Yakop") or hisoon (yisoon) honk (yonk) right?

It's odd. But I'm getting used to it.

The "hi" for Hagop (thing that looks like a 3 in capital and a j in non-capital) is the correct spelling of it. Soviet leaders changed the Armenian spelling overnight in a bid to "make it easier". It was also a first step towards the creation of a new "Soviet Language", and quite a successful way of widening the gap between Armenia and Diaspora (different dialects PLUS different spelling). I still do not see why the Republic of Armenia does not switch back to the real spelling. The Soviet spelling has pretty much butchered the language, and caused it to remain at a standstill.

That would also explain why we use the "yech" for the "ian"s at the end of last names, and you use the "hi".

Spiral that's not Y its the letter "Hee" ( je men hee nu sha vo.....) vor arevmtahayerenov kartatsvuma mer H-en in certain words.

Fire I wrote Y because 3(as baron used to explain it) and small j (3 j) we pronounce the sound "y" makes. Y-yarn, that sound.

Yes, which is a result of Soviet spelling. Damn the people that got that law to pass.


I've always said: If Arevmdahays can take the arevelahay pronounciation (which we have lost), and if Arevelahays can take the arevmdahay spelling (which you have lost), we are back on track. You couldn't imagine how much simpler everything would be.

Spiral's post in her old thread made me realize how utterly anal it is to see this.

"I was going through the old threads, and I came across this one."

Stop saying that. All of you. No one came across anything.

[spiral]

geez, well I was going through the old posts, and I saw that one, and I clicked on it, and I read that story again, because I love it so much.

Better?
