Hyena (from Physiologus)

Վասն բորենոյ

Բարոյախաւսն ասէ զբորենոյ թէ արու եւ էգ է. երբեմն արու լինի եւ երբեմն էգ. պիղծ է գազանն վասն զբնութիւնն փոփոխելոյ։

Hyena

Physiologus says about the hyena that it is both male and female. Sometimes it is a male and other times, a female. It is a filthy creature, because it changes its nature.

Learn Classical Armenian!

Image
Learn Classical Armenian! started in June, 2021 with daily Grabar (Classical Armenian) exercises. Each exercise is designed to take about 15-30 minutes to work through, with most of the material sourced or modified from the 5th century Classical Armenian translation of the Bible. With the encouragement of Robert Bedrosian , the exercises have increasingly come to focus on "spoken" Grabar by emphasizing short, natural phrases that help the reader think in Grabar and, hopefully, come to parse longer sentences later on. Thanks to Taveen Miloyan for his help with developing the program for the exercises.    To whet the appetite, here are some famous literary lines that I recently translated into 5th century style Classical Armenian. If you have any questions or comments about this content, please comment below.   Additional resources: Arak29 Classical Armenian-English Bible Concordance Arak29 English-Classical Armenian Bible Concordance Krapar & Kini — Alphabet:   The C
