Western Armenian has prepositions, postpositions and ambipositions, but not circumpositions.
Ambi: ambiposition
Examples
- փոխանակ “instead of”, շնորհիւ “thanks/owing to, in virtue of”, հանդէպ “toward”, համեմատ “compared to”
Prep: preposition
Examples
- ի “for the sake of”, առ “up to”, յանուն “for the sake of”, մինչեւ “till”
Post: postposition
Examples
- վրայ “on”, քով “at”, հետ “with”, դէմ “against”, մօտ “at”, մէջ “in”, զատ “except”
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”
