- @Hovsepig: no, never. You are thinking of Western Armenian քիլօ (kʻilō). Vahag (talk) 22:17, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Vahagn PetrosyanNo I mean Eastern because I’ve come across Eastern folks say it with a kh, and the spelling քիլո like Armenian Wiktionary Hovsepig (talk) 23:49, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Hovsepig, Malkhasiants agrees with you that a vernacular form քիլո (kʻilo) exists, though I have never heard it. Sometimes aspiration is found in Eastern Armenian loanwords where it is unexpected. For example, փեչ (pʻečʻ), մանեթ (manetʻ). Could be Turkic or Persian influence. Vahag (talk) 08:58, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
