An Armenian word of 36 letters

Armenian glues words together, with the letter “a” to link them.

This 36-letter word splits into pieces: aradjnord (chief), khatchavor (cross-bearer), tsoutsak (list), drvats (placed), outyoun (the fact of being).

Word for word: “the fact of being placed on the chief’s list of cross-bearers”. The linking “a” letters are the glue.

Did you know? The “a” in mayrakaghak (capital) is the same link: mayr (mother) plus a plus kaghak (city).
