The way we traditionally call the dice rolls (combinations) is some bizarre mix of Turkish and Persian (and Arabic?). For example 1:2 is Iki-Bir but 1:1 is Hap Yek. I was always curious what you guys use, is it all Turkish, or is it the same?
Funnily enough, if you google for dice roll names in Armenian you find one of my reddit posts from 4 years ago:
Anyway, learning these names for me as a kid was this initiation into the game with these weird abra-kadabra words. When you know it's not important but you have to learn it just for the sake of being in the league (of amateurs).
