DEar TITL, I read this in a book before but can't remember who said it, or what the book was called.. our Church is a Church of the living not the dead, and therefore, we ask the saints to pray for us, and God in His greatest love commanded us to al…

That's what I heard Cantor Ibrahim sing... not a fan of doing this... Oujai
-
DEar Copticyouth, How would you want me to reply? I am impressed by your next to last post... Oujai
-
It is fine for me. I don't see a problem singing it wholly... is it Ibrahim Ayad who started the argument in the first place... can't remember... Oujai
-
Copticyouth, I get the feeling you're not Christian, I may be wrong, so let me know. I see you coming and arguing about such a topic only from some a scholarly faithless position. I really question your motives. For someone to keep referring to God …

Although I always viewed you Arsani as a die-hard Coptic and only Coptic enthusiast. Oh well, I just don't know you personally anyway... ::)
-
Dear imikhail, There is nothing wrong at all with any of the verses. This debate was started before on Coptichymns.net, and I was enthused to search for evidence, and guess what? I found everything in synexarium strictly matching the hymn. I just ho…

Very fruitful discussion mikehenry, but as imikhail says, please start a new thread... Oujai

Dear Aegyptian, I hope what I am going to say is not too complicated for you (as it is for me... hehe)... The correct statement is: ]triac ETjyk ebol. The words jyk ebol here come as a descriptive, not as another noun (pretty much like an adjective)…
-
Dear imikhail, why do you have to ask such a question again? Some people like Remenkimi said before will argue that was some kind of evolution, although what's beyond me is how can evolution spread through only a section of the population and in a r…
-
Ok, apparently Remenkimi you are so much more knowledgeable than I am, and I cannot convince you. It is sad really to find someone like you scrupulously defending the introduction of a made up dialect on a well-known language (and my argument that d…

Gloucester, Leicester, Massachusetts, Connecticut, .... etc Oujai qen `P[C

And Remenkimi, there is nothing like exceptions to a language, since there are no fixed rules in the first place (unlike the Greco-Bohairic made up dialect). If you tend to use a word in a special context from one dialect most of the time, it can af…
-
Thanks Copticuser20. I am glad you cleared this up, because I wrongly thought that you were alluding to the fact that their pronunciation is wrong (in terms of the Greco-Bohairic being correct)... On a personal note, I would have liked to be more in…
-
Dear Remenkimi, You are the best one to know that there are no specific rules for letters pronunciation as is the case in all languages on earth. Please don't stick to one source, as you can see there are many conflicts between Coptologists accordin…
-
Dear Remenkimi, In your reply to imikhail, you show me that you clearly haven't read my post yet. When (or if) you do, would you mind explaining to me what you meant by Greco-Bohairic being closer to Sa'idic than old Bohairic (the way you like it, o…
-
Dear dzheremi, There are many instances where there is the schwa inserted between two consonants. I am not sure if that answers the question, because as I pointed out earlier, it is inserted as a sound, not as a spelling of a written letter, if that…
-
Dear imikhail and all, Sorry for this is the first time I use the computer for some time. Anyway, I am getting a bit deep into this research, and I can say that as you said imikhail, this doesn't make neither grammatical sense, or Biblical sense. I …
-
And of course /tot/, /thot/ or /toot/ because it is pronounced this way; just like that. No artificialness about t being pronounced /d/ ALL THE WAY. And also people from upper Egypt had the upper hand in transmitting their pronunciation to us (and I…
-
Well done imikhail... Dear Remenkimi and Copticuser20, As imikhail elaborately pointed out, the names are Sa'idic. Therefore Baramoda rather than Barmoti, and Mesra not "Masora". Please also note the vowels in authentic Coptic are treated way differ…
-
Another flawed perception that I hoped wouldn't come from Copticuser20. The Coptic months were pronounced first, then transcribed in Arabic letters, and a long time later after corrupting the language with what's called Greco-Bohairic were written i…
-
That's a foolproof answer imikhail thanks. I'd have probably answered the first hos question in contemplation not facts as you gave... thanks again... Oujai
-
Mina, it's a Bible reading FULL STOP. PRetty much like the singari psalm, the Pauline, and ... etc. Please specify what you were saying about second and third hos, because I didn't get what you mean... Oujai
-
Dear Mina, It gets worse every time you explain yourself. After all you're a brother to me, and I hope you don't take my words amiss... I'd like to give myself the liberty of commenting on your statement, but if you've had enough, just tell me strai…
-
What a diplomatic answer... Oujai
-
I always view you as a man of principles when it comes to hymns but for some reason you sometimes shock me doing just the opposite... anyway it's up to you Oujai
-
I'll research it, but I think that that particular statement is on the tongue of archangel Gabriel, but don't ask me why there is any implication that the Holy Spirit came in the past and the power would come in the future... I'll research but your …
-
I don't think you should Mina. That's only my opinion anyway... Oujai
-
And as Mina told us once before about the smart brains... the whole hos is in Coptic but they decided to use ka Daniel rather than nem... Oujai
