heros kajberouni... nice name-last name combination...

kamo is not short for anything... it was Simon Ter-Petrosian's revolutionary nickname... thus, it became a popular name during soviet times... can't remember how the word itself was coined, but i believe there is a reference to that in the hyefilm movie 'kamo'...

there is one on ventura close to woodman (i believe)... have not been there, can't speak of the quality...

my mom for some reason has started calling me haro recently...

so... why did you name the file shusha again?

could be... how about, davit - davulik edward - edulik

to think of it now, Maqo is Maqrouhi... (probably)... and Maro is Mariam... as for -ik, some names take -chik instead... don't ask me why... armenchik, karenchik...

Gagik - Gago Vaghinak - Vagho (Vgho) Vazgen - Vzgo Shmavon - Shmo Suren - Suro Gurgen - Gugo Anahit - Ano Artavazd - Arto Hambardzum - Hambo Hamayak - Hamo Miqael - Miqo Samvel - Samo Felix - Felo Telman - Telo Marqarit - Maqo Saribek - Saro Asatour - Aso Astghik - Aso Petros - Peto Gevorg - Gevo Soghomon - Sogho Kirakos - Kiro Davit - Davo Drastamat - Dro Elizabeth - Elo Gapriel - Gapo Isahak - Iso can i stop now?

have you seen the movie "Mer mankutyan tangon"? here is an excerpt from the film as i remember... "zarg, indz el zarg... inchi Vardushin k'zarges, inzhi ches zargi... vorovhetev enor k'sires che? indzi ches sire... INDZ EL ZARG!!!"

i have no idea why armenians still live in russia, the shithole that it is...

expected... was bound to happen... sad... life is so predictable... what will come out? nairi hunanian style trial, eu whining, armenians falsely feeling so important, not long after that world will fall at its usual place...

actually their attires ARE weird AND 2007ish... these are not taraz and there is nothing "traditional" in them... that's not to say that they don't fit their performance or that i don't like them...

merrnem yes dzer havesin...

to analize the ancient history through the lenses of nationalism is misleading... nationality/ethnicity has hardly been a factor until late middle ages... first and for most, people/commoners (the vast majority of population) identified themselves with religious sects, ruling dynasties, families, political/social pacts, etc rather than with nationality or ethnicity...

it's interesting how people don't feel uncomfortable about this word, while it is kind of synonimous with ապուշանալ, ապուշ կտրել, which not many people would use to express their state of mind...

ուշի-ուշով հետևում եմ ձեր խոսքերին... պարզապես ապշած եմ... դուք շատ ուշիմ եք...

does the expression յան տուր have anything to do with this?

հիսուս ծնվեց և հայտնվեցավ...

originally i wrote ուշկի, but as it turned out later it is ուշկե... it could be (most likely is) a corrupted form of ուստի, but the fact is that it was once used word, as you can see from the thread i posted recently... http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=15062 btw, some other words that are also used as որտեղից are որդիանց, ուրդից, ուրդուց, ուրտեղից...

i don't want to assert what's correct and incorrect, but basically, these are things that naturally come in pairs and therefore are referred to, just like in english, in plural (unless of course you're talking about a single thing)... աչք, հոնք, ձեռք, ոտք, կուրծք, ծնողք, etc (can't think of other words at this point), ք being the plurative suffix... since over the time եր [er] and ներ [ner] have become the dominant prurative suffixes (the only i would say), աչք (etc) has lost its meaning as 'eyes' and has become an 'eye'... therefore, the use of աչքեր has come forward... some of the mentioned words have transformed differently than others... for example, it's կրծքեր and not կուրծեր, but it's ծնողներ and not ծնողքներ... (i guess this one is because it's a lot more common to talk about a single parent than about a single breast... unless you're telling someone 'tsitsikd utem' ) all three forms that you mentioned are used today in different contexts, and i can't tell what's right or wrong, but the formal ea usage for the mentioned words is as follows: sng - plr աչք - աչքեր հոնք - հոնքեր ձեռք - ձեռքեր ոտք - ոտքեր կուրծք - կրծքեր ծնող - ծնողներ it's interesting to note that there are other things which do not come in pairs, but are still referred to in plural... and not only in armenian but also in english... for example, երկինք (although this word in modern wa and ea is also singular, just like the rest of the words above), the skies... but, i'm sure there are many better posts about this in the forum that you can find by searching one of the words above... just to make another point, in the examples that you gave, it would be ձեոք ձեոՆեր ձեռքեր, as we discussed before... it's also interesting to note that ականջ, ear, is not in this list of words... though an older word for it, ունկ[ն] can fit somewhere there i guess... another word that just came to mind is շրթունք... it's also interesting to mention that today ք is used for plural a lot more often in wa than in ea... and that many ea speakers, who are not interested in languages in general, get very surprised about ք being a plural suffix, yet ք, as such, is very common throughout our language, starting from pronouns, ex. մենք, դուք, նրանք to words such as գիրք...
