իր
his (own) / her (own) / its (own) (gen sg)
The possessive pronoun իր (ir) is used if the attributive possessive pronoun of the third person singular refers to the subject of the sentence. If it refers to another person, the regular third person pronoun նրա (nra) is used instead. For example, Արմենը կարդաց իր գիրքը (Armenə kardacʻ ir girkʻə) means "Armen read his [own] book", while Արմենը կարդաց նրա գիրքը (Armenə kardacʻ nra girkʻə) means "Armen read his [another person's] book". The same rule applies for the corresponding plural forms իրենց (irencʻ) and նրանց (nrancʻ).
From Lesson 5:Vers 5·Reading Psalm 27 in Eastern Armenian
