Prep: preposition
Examples
- ի “for the sake of”, առ “up to”, ըստ “according to”, դեպի “to”, մինչև “till”, բացի “besides”, առանց “without”, հօգուտ “in favour of”, հանձին “in person of”, հանուն “for the sake of”

Comadp: dependent part of compound adposition
This value marks dependent first or second part of a compound adposition. This word cannot occur alone. Not all compound adpositions contain words marked Comadp. Many compound prepositions consist of prepositions and a noun (e.g. ի սեր “for the love of”, ի պատիվ “in honor of” ). Sometimes there are just two words, the first one is normal postposition and the second one
is a secondary postposition (etymologically some other part of speech, but it has been frozen as
a postposition) as in դեմ հանդիման “in front of”.
Examples
- ի հեճուկս “to spite”, ի փառս “in praise of”
