### Pronunciation

* (Eastern Armenian) IPA: /keˈnɑl/, [kenɑ́l]
* (Western Armenian) IPA: /ɡeˈnɑl/, [ɡenɑ́l]

### Verb

* to stop, come to stop; to pause
* to remain in some place or in some condition

#### Usage notes

Nowadays, in Eastern Armenian, this verb is not used independently except in the infinitive and imperative. The other forms appear as part of the compound verb վեր կենալ (ver kenal, “to get up”) and few others, such as անց կենալ (ancʻ kenal, “to pass”). Excepting վեր կենալ (ver kenal), these compounds are rarely used.
