Remenkimi, My point is that word can be pronounced either awka or awsha in Coptic. Please don't assume each word to have one and only pronunciation. Refer to CRum or Muawad Dawood. Thanks for the diphthong explanation but I never pointed out to the…

I am with Remenkimi on this one. Adopting the rites from a sister church doesn't make it any less of a rite than other "more original" ones. Oujai

And Remenkimi this is the whole idea why authentic Bohairic is authentic. The /sh/ sound probably goes back to olden Greek when their x letter was pronounced along the lines of isch in German, but as their language has evolved, the pronunciation cha…

Ya Mina, those comments were intended for kmeka, not you... sorry I should have cut out the irrelevant bits. Oujai

Dear kmeka001, It appears you have not been following the post titled "Great Lent by Ibrahim Ayad", otherwise you would have found answers to the questions you post. I encourage you to do that, and this is the link for the fifth page, most relevant …

Dear jydeacon, In my paranoia, I think partly you refer to me. Ok thanks for pointing out your point of view. Let me just explain what I understand from these forums. They are constructive, meant to build each other up. That said, it is understandab…

Dear anba Bola, I am on a computer now, so let me address some of your points. First of all, liturgy is the work of the people. Very true. How do you define people? How do you define the characteristics of people? If you reduce all the work of the p…

Sorry, I failed... hopefully other members may be able to help... Oujai
-
Dear kmeka, Thanks for pointing that out to me. Probably I made myself boss then... I do apologise. As for the second point; very interesting. If you revise yourself that is fine, but that is not the point. The point is why do you record a hymn you …
-
DEar anba Bola, I need a computer to answer your post. Even though I promised someone else before, can't remember who, to not discuss this very point again. Oujai
-
I'll get back to you on that one. Oujai
-
I disagree with all here except Michael Boutros and maybe imikhail. This is not the first hymn that Cantor Ibrahim records differently and from what I'm hearing won't be the last. The man is used to modernizing and embellishing even hymns he recorde…

DEar ilovesaintmark, I'm impressed by your poetic aptitude. However I was referring to myself steering with a bit of cold since you told me: bless you... hehe Oujai
-
DEar anba Bola, I'm surprised that you can argue that way even though churches not only in the diaspora are using projectors and kholagy's in different languages, but hey, all of that doesn't matter, does it? The more you compromise the weaker you g…

Ilovesaintmark, thank you. Feeling cold these days... hehe Oujai

Sorry forgot to comment on this "epetshois" as GB enthusiasts like to pronounce is not because the jinkim was shifted but because the letter shima (according to them) is pronouced /ech/, not just /ch/, because it is ETCHima. Funny? Or maybe not? Ouj…
-
Mina, ok, before getting on to the red comments earlier, I wish to point this out to you: the "s" replacing "th" in Arabic is not actually a Coptic characteristic, but a French characteristic that passed into the colloquial Arabic due to the French …

A COPTIC priest (or let's say a COPTIC congregation) inside the COPTIC church rejecting COPTIC hymns. Are we nearing the end of days? Well, the last question is a stupid one, I agree, but what about the statement before... sad. Oujai
-
Mina, concerning your three questions in red above, the answers are completely fallacious and based on personal opinions of either you, or people who taught you. I need a computer to comment so I'll do that later, but don't let it slip your mind. O…
-
Please give me references dzheremi. I'll be interested to find out more about this... Oujai
-
Mina, I know that you read Arabic, and that's why I thought you'd rather believe FR. Shenouda than any other false teaching. You pay due respect to him, and so you should, but what you fail to understand is that hold on to just the same excuses like…
-
Yes of course but when I first started posting on tasbeha.org in 2007 you were one of the people who advised me to refrain from commenting on similarities between hymns and just enjoy them as they are. So basically we can say there are same musical …
-
What?!!! Mina, are you tripping man? This is way beyond having no musical ears, this is pure insanity. Lenten sharat are similar or same as Kiahkly? You're joking, right? Oujai
-
DEar Mina, I really can't believe myself having read your last post. That's music to my ears. GIve me details man, whose idea was that, and how far did he really go? YOu know my email, is there any way I could get sent an example? Oujai
-
Dear Remenkimi, Frustration at other people's opinions is not a good reason in itself to stop doing what is right. Actually from now on I'll base my pronunciation of English on French letters, and albeit a false premise still a dialect in itself... …

Dear Remenkimi, Go to remenkimi.com, and click on the tab of pronunciation, and you will find the book as the first in the list... oujai qen `P[C

DEar Remenkimi, I'm so surprised by your steadfastness in debating for GB against all solid evidence. If your answer about Egyptian English and Indian English is mere accent phonological variant then I'd argue that GB is the same, nothing more. In …

I'll check Mina and let you know Oujai

Well said imikhail and dzheremi... Dear Remenkimi, what about row vs row in English? Bow and bow? Tear and tear? Cent and scent? Oujai Ps: did you choose to ignore answering my questions above? OUjai

Well said imikhail. Thanks a lot. On a side note, do you know where I can get an electronic version of that book? oujai qen `P[C
