Abstract
Among Krapar (ancient Armenian) case endings only the origin of the declination endings of the Instrumental Case singular -բ, - ւ, -ւ (-b, -v, -u) and the Accusative Case plural - ս (-s) were not controversial: the prototype of the first is considered to be the Indo-European *-bhi, and for the second *-ns. Alongside the other case declination endings, the origin of the Ablative Case singular -է (-e) and the Ablative Case plural -ց (-ts) gave rise to dispute.
The author analyses this phenomenon through a typological comparison of a number of Indo-European languages and uses a systematic approach to argue that:
a) the prototype of the Ablative Case declination ending -է (-e) is the Indo-European diphthong endings *(-oi>)ei of the Dative Case,
b) the -ց (-ts) declination ending of the Ablative Case plural has developed from the Hittite plural forms in analogy with the Genitive-Dative (Ablative) Case -š ending,
c) the prefix (with ի - (i-)) formation of the Ablative Case emerged during the independent development of the Armenian language in the phase of Krapar to differentiate it through its form from the Genitive-Dative.
