How do you pronounce it?

arkʻepiskopos

The word արքեպիսկոպոս contains the root -պիսկոպոս, which shares a common ancestor with the English word 'bishop'. Both terms originally meant 'overseer' or 'watcher'.
Because Armenian was the first language to have its own alphabet for translating the Bible, the word արքեպիսկոպոս appears in some of the world's oldest surviving Christian texts in the Armenian script.
In the Armenian Apostolic Church, the title արքեպիսկոպոս is often used as a rank of honor rather than a description of a specific jurisdiction over other bishops.

Արքեպիսկոպոսը հանգիստ է նստած:
Arkeperiskoposĕ hangist ē nstats:
The archbishop is sitting quietly.
Մենք հանդիպել ենք արքեպիսկոպոսին:
Menk' hendipel yenk' arkeperiskosin:
We met the archbishop.
