Note

Western Armenian does not really have a locative case. So some ancient locative forms are frozen into adverbs.

Number of cases:

Eastern Armenian has an extra, distinct locative case with a specific ending, typically -ում (-um).

In Western Armenian, the function of the locative case is usually fulfilled by postpositions or other case forms

Case Syncretism (Merged Forms): While both dialects technically have the cases listed above, many of the forms for nouns are identical in both languages:

Nominative/Accusative: These two cases share the same form in both Eastern and Western Armenian (except for personal pronouns and specific instances in Eastern Armenian).

Genitive/Dative: These two cases also share the same form in both dialects.

So as a conclusion Western Armenian comes down to four case forms:

1. Nom /Acc

2. Gen / Dat

3. Instrumental

4. Ablative
