My classmate had told me briefly about Haik's story back when we were... 14 I think.

So, when you use Armenian as a noun you say Hai; but for the adjective you go Haikakan, correct?

Then, would Armenian King be Haikakan Arqa? And How would you say Takavor of Kilikia (Medieval era)?

Sorry for hijacking the thread mates.

It is kind of difficult to explain. Hai Arqah/Arkah means Armenian king, as in the king is Armenian. Haikakan Arqah/Arkah rougly translates to something like Armenian made king. if that makes sense??

When refering to people we use Hai. Armenian person= Hai mart Armenian woman= Hai kin

but for example Armenian kingdom= Haikakan Arkautsiun , Armenian wine= Haikakan gini

Arqah/ Arkah and Takavor/Tagavor both mean king. Takavor/Tagavor came about in the middle ages during the Bagratuni era. The word is a compound. Tak/Tag means crown so Takavor/tagavor translates to crown bearer which has the meaning of king.

So king of Kilikia if we are using Takavor/Tagavor would be Kilikiai Tagavor
