Documentation in progress[edit]

This is a base template called by {{hyw-conj-ել}}, {{hyw-conj-ալ}} and all other Western Armenian verb inflection templates. They all start with the prefix <hyw-conj>. It should not be used independently.

Overview[edit]

This template was designed based off of the Eastern Armenian verb inflection template {{hy-conj}}. Some major differences are the following:

  1. There are no simultaneous or perfective converbs. There is an evidential participle
  2. Indicative present/past use a prefix կը before consonants, կ before vowels/letters <ա է օ ու ե ի>, not the letter <ո> pronounced as [vo]
  3. The resultative and evidential participles are used for marking the present perfect and pluperfect
  4. The connegative is homophonous for negative present and negative past for -ել and -ալ verbs, but different for -իլ verbs
  5. There is no conditional
  6. Prohibitives never use aorist stems or irregular forms

Paradigms were checked against the ArmenianVerbs GitHub repo

  • If a verb has colloquial forms for the aorist, you have to list each form per person/number, like indaor1SGcoll etc, see խածնել

Copying from Eastern[edit]

When making new entries, use the following examples to guide you:

  1. If the Eastern is in reformed orthography or uses different vowels, and the Western form exists as a classical entry, then make an Armenian sub-entry like in երեւիլ
  2. If the Eastern is in reformed orthography or uses different vowels, and the Western form doesn't exist on Wiktionary even as a classical entry, then create a page like in իջնալ and խօսիլ. Cite the alternative form in the Eastern entry if it's not already there like in իջնել and խոսել
