Hai ch'em. (I actually got to use that phrase on September 22. I visited an Armenian church; it happened to be the day they celebrated Independence Day, which actually fell on the previous day.) The dram is a monetary unit used in Armenia. I have some glass vials which are apparently sized in drams, though the size in milliliters is also stated on the website. They are 8 ml and hold 7.2 g of jojoba-based perfume. Pierre -- La sal en el mar es más que en la sangre. Le sel dans la mer est plus que dans le sang.
