ik ken het ook van de regio Alphen aan den Rijn. Lastig te horen vanwege de westnederlandse halfstemhebbendheid bij fricatieven, maar zeker een ding

Anyway, long story short, by the time I got home to try to get to the bottom of this I realised it obviously wasn't in Armenian, but it's actually Ottoman Turkish in Armenian letters.
A little bit of Googling later I found out the Ինճիլի Շէրիֆ on the spine = Turkish İncili şerif 'The Holy Bible'.

Same in most of Moroccan Arabic. Colin makes a difference between šta ‘rain’ and šetwa ‘winter’ which I find a bit suspect. Harrell has iyyam l-berd for ‘winter’. I vaguely recall mešta for ‘winter’, but I avoid talking about such terrible things in any language, so I am not in any way sure 😁
