arevmda should certainly be deprecated with a pointer to hyw.

That makes arevela redundant, since hy and hye/arm are Eastern Armenian. 

Hm, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_language hye is “Modern Armenian” in 639-3. But Ethnologue just lists “Armenian” for hy and hye/arm. Same at https://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/langcodes_name.php?code_ID=26
