Examples
In principle, only capital letters are used to represent numbers, because the Armenian script did not initially contain any small letters. The numbers Օ (10000) and Ֆ (20000) weren't introduced until the Middle Ages when the corresponding letters were added to the alphabet.
- Ծ = 50
- ՃԻ = 100 + 20 = 120
- ՌՋՀԵ = 1000 + 900 + 70 + 5 = 1975
- ՍԴ = 2000 + 4 = 2004
- ՍՄԻԲ = 2000 + 200 + 20 + 2 = 2222
The traditional Armenian calendar begins on July 11, 552. For example, 1935 AD corresponds to the Armenian year 1383 (ՌՅՁԳ) or 1384 (ՌՅՁԴ).
