Eggplant

Why is it that eggplant redirects to this article? Dart evader 06:36, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I am moving this content out of the english wikipedia article on Eggplant. A list of translations is much more appropriate here than there. I hope someone can include this information into the article (I would do it myself, but I am not sure if these words refer to the plant or the fruit or both. Since this wasn't the color article, I imagine these terms are not exclusively referring to the color.):

Armenian Transliteration

Ա,ա in Armenian is always pronounced like ā. Using the diacritic in the transliteration is redundant.
