Are the forms for the imperfect indicative correct? Thomson manual (An introduction to classical Armenian) gives սիրեի and not սիրէի, սիրեիր and not սիրէիր, and so on (except for the third person singular). --Fsojic (talk) 11:36, 28 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thomson's forms reflect older spellings found in the most ancient manuscripts. The ones in the table are considered traditional and are widely attested: [1], [2], [3], [4]․ See Godel, Robert (1975) An introduction to the study of classical Armenian, Wiesbaden: Dr. Ludwig Reichert Verlag, , § 2.211. Note also the declension of մարգարէ (margarē). I am queasy about showing the archaic forms for all verbs, as that would imply that they are attested even for late verbs. --Vahag (talk) 12:37, 28 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
I decided to add those rare forms after all. --Vahag (talk) 19:19, 7 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
