RUBRIC: Beginnings of the *Orhnut‘iwn* [Canticle/Blessing šarakan (hymn)] and the *Harc‘* [Fathers šarakan] and its prayers; the *Tēr yerknic‘* [Lord of the Heavens šarakan] and its *P‘aṙk‘* [Doxology/Glory]; the *Surp es Tēr* [“Holy art Thou, Lord”] after the *Mankunk‘* [Children šarakan]; the prayers of the Sunrise [Hour]; the Morning prayers; the Midday [Hour/Synaxis] with peace (*Xaġaġut‘eamb*); the *P‘aratea* [“Dispel”]; the *K‘ristos Ordi Astucoy* [“Christ, Son of God”]. On Sundays, the Midday Isaiah and the Gospel belong to the voice (*jayn* [the liturgical mode]); the Apostle [Epistle] belongs to the side [choir]. But on a fast/plain day (*lur awur*), the Lection belongs to the side [choir]; the Gospel belongs to the voice [mode]. At Evening [Hour], the *Xonarhec‘o* [“Incline”] belongs to the voice [mode]. The *Aprec‘o* [“Deliver”], the *Hayr gt‘ac* [“Merciful Father”], the *Tēr barerar* [“Beneficent Lord”], the *K‘ristos Ordi* [“Christ, Son”] belong to the side [choir]. The *Hayr mer* [“Our Father”] belongs to the voice [mode]. The prayer *Hawatov xostovanim* [“In faith I confess”] is twenty-four stanzas, according to the twenty-four hours. As for *Tēr mer ew p‘rkič‘* [“Our Lord and Savior”] and *Tēr Astuac mer* [“Lord our God”], they are outside the regular order [and] belong to the celebrant (*žamarar*) or to an official/eminent guest. When the Armenian year is *kočat* [deficient/incomplete], the primary modes (*bun jaynk‘*)—A3 (Mode I), B3 (Mode II), G3 (Mode III), D3 (Mode IV)—shall be on the right-side choir, where the holy font is; and when it is *dar* [full/regular], they shall be on the left-side.
