Kareli ban e? khemel arats qezi.
Yervant, from all indications, you must have walked the sidewalks of Halep and Beyrut as I have, and that you are like me a "born-again" Armenian.
Look wher you spell "kareli" instead of "gareli" and "ban" instead of "pan"., not to forget "qezi" instead of "kezi".
My only wish is that we, eastern, western, northern and southern Armenians would once again rediscover the Mesropian Alphabet and transliteration.
Not "garo" but "karo", not "garen" but "karen", not "qanata/քանատա" but "գանադա", not թորոնթո" but "տորոնտո", since "թորոնթո" retransliterates to "thorotho".
Թ = TH, as in THETA. The reason why the prs. THAJ is known as ԹԱԳ in Armenian., and Thadeus is Թատիոս/Տաթեւոս:
Does Tatev/ Տաթեւ ring a bell?
