Examples
- փոխայն_/_p’oxayn “instead of”, մեջ/meǰ “in”
Prep: preposition
Examples
- ի/i “for the sake of”, առ/aṙ “up to”, ըստ/ëst “according to”, դէմ/dēm “in front of; close to (time)”, (ի) խեչ/(i) xeč “at, next to”, հետ/het “with”
Post: postposition

Comadp: dependent part of compound adposition
This value marks the dependent first or second part of a compound adposition. Such words cannot occur independently as adpositions. Not all compound adpositions contain words marked Comadp. Many compound prepositions consist of a preposition followed by a noun (e.g. ի սեր/i ser “for the love of”, ի պատիվ/i pativ “in honor of”). Some compound adpositions consist of two tokens, where the first is an adposition, and the second is historically derived from another part of speech but has become lexicalized as a postposition, as in ի ձեռն/i jeṙn “by, through, by means of, via”.
Examples
- ի հետ/i het “together with”, ի մէնջ/i mēnǰ “in, between”
