Armenian: the script, its five romanisation schemes, orthography and fold.

The package this library was built for. Armenian has two orthographies in use – classical (pre-1922, still used across the diaspora) and reformed – and two pronunciation traditions, Eastern and Western, that romanise the same name opposite ways. orthography tells the orthographies apart; the schemes render for display; fold_token() makes every spelling one key for finding.
