Declension twice eastern armenian?

[edit]

There is twice the declension in eastern armenian. I believe the 2nd is probably western armenian, because the journal Dove of Ararat, Голубь Масиса, which is probably in western armenian (Krimea) prints ՄԱՍՅԱՑ ԱՂԱՎՆԻ, մասյաց աղավնի massjac' ar'avni. 77.56.145.145 23:07, 16 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Both declensions shown here are Eastern Armenian. In the second one the unstressed -ի- (-i-) is optionally reduced to an unwritten -ը- (-ə-). Մասյաց is an Old Armenian declension. Vahag (talk) 23:19, 16 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
