How it sounds in a sentence

A word list is a blank. Conversation is made of sentences, and these are the ones the words fit into most often.

What is worth knowing about these words

Ժամ (zham) — hour. Both 'hour' and 'time' in general: ժամը (zhamə) ինին (inin) — at nine o'clock. Hence ժամադրութիւն (zhamatrut'yun), a date — an appointed hour. The ժ is zh, as in 'vision'.

Օր (or) — day. Same root in օրացոյց (oratsuyts), a calendar — literally a 'shower of days'. One syllable, and it looks like English 'or'.

Այսօր (aysor) — today. այս- (this) + օր (or) (day): 'this day'. Its partners երէկ (yereg) (yesterday) and վաղը (vaghə) (tomorrow) complete your first timeline.

Առաւօտ (arravod) — morning. Classical spelling writes աւ and օ: առաւօտ (arravod); the Eastern reformed spelling gives առավոտ. 'In the morning' grows a tail: առաւօտեան (arravodean).

Recalling a spelling from meaning is harder than recognizing a familiar word — and therefore more useful.
