Hi,

although I have been learning Armenian for half year, I am still a
beginner, that's why I asked. I have looked up հոգեվարք at bararan.am
and it really contains a long list of words starting with հոգե and the
second word starting with վ. Thus I understand that this is a strong
reason not to lowercase every ԵՎ to և. Thank you for explanation (շատ
շնորհակալ եմ).
