== An example of adjective in Old Armenian == Adjectives in Old Armenian have at least two models of declension: i-a-type and i-type. An adjective, provided that it is not indeclinable, can show both models. Most of the declension show a great deal of syncretism and the plural shows again the pluralization suffix -k'. The instrumental plural has two possible forms. {| class="wikitable sortable" |+երկար (erkar, "long") !Case !Old Armenian (singular) !Old Armenian (plural) |- |''Nom.'' |<big>երկար (erkar) < [[Proto-Indo-European language|PIE]] *dweh₂r'''ós'''</big> |<big>երկարք (erkar'''kʻ''') < [[Proto-Indo-European language|PIE]] *dweh₂r'''óes'''</big> |- |''Gen.'' |<big>երկարի (erkar'''i''') < *dweh₂r'''ósyo'''?</big> |<big>երկարաց (erkar'''acʻ''') < *dweh₂r'''óHom'''</big> |- |''Dat.'' |<big>երկարի (erkar'''i''') < *dweh₂r'''óey'''</big> |<big>երկարաց (erkar'''acʻ''') < *dweh₂r'''ómos'''</big> |- |''Acc.'' |<big>երկար (erkar) < *dweh₂r'''óm'''</big> |<big>երկարս (erkar'''s''') < *dweh₂r'''óms'''</big> |- |''Abl.'' |<big>երկարէ (erkar'''ē''') < *dweh₂r'''éad'''</big> |<big>երկարաց (erkar'''acʻ''') < *dweh₂r'''ómos'''</big> |- |''Loc.'' |<big>երկարի (erkar'''i''') < *dweh₂r'''éy/óy'''</big> |<big>երկարաւք (erkar'''awkʻ''') < *dweh₂r'''óysu'''</big> <big>երկարօք (erkar'''ōkʻ''') < *dweh₂r'''óysu'''</big> |- |''Instr.'' |<big>երկարաւ (erkar'''aw''') < *dweh₂r'''óh₁'''</big> |<big>երկարս (erkar'''s''') < *dweh₂r'''ṓys'''</big> |} The adjective "long" shows the same sound changes of the numeral "two": PIE ''*dweh₂rós / *dwoy-'' > ''erkar / erku.''
