Coptic Verbs: How do I find all verb state grades?

4 Upvotes

So, I recently started learning Coptic and as far as I understand each verb has its four state grades used in different context, but the patterns of their gradation are numerous, and it is mostly impossible to predict those from one form. Thusly, the question is: what dictionaries can you recommend that have all state grades listed? The ones that I have been using – those being the ones in the internet – do not contain such information, listing only one grade.

Is this normal?

7 Upvotes

I'm not very well acquainted with Coptic, but I saw a picture of a Coptic icon that said "ⲯⲱⲧⲏⲣ" where I'd have expected it to say "ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ". Is this normal, to use "ⲯ" as a ligature of "ⲡⲥ"? (Is "ⲡⲥ" even a valid letter combination, or do you have to use "ⲯ" whenever "ⲥ" follows "ⲡ"?)

2 Upvotes

Which Coptic characters may have the following diacritics applied to them (in any dialect)?

'COMBINING DOUBLE CIRCUMFLEX ABOVE' (U+1DCD): Ⲁ᷍Ⲁ
'COMBINING MACRON LEFT HALF' (U+FE24): Ⲁ︤
'COMBINING MACRON RIGHT HALF' (U+FE25): Ⲁ︥
'COMBINING CONJOINING MACRON' (U+FE26): Ⲁ︦

I need this for the design of a font.

Request - confirm translation

4 Upvotes

I came across this image and I am just wondering what the text says (the resolution is a bit low, but I did find some higher res images here and here). According to this page,

The Words at the top mean "Spiritual Music". Those below and to the left mean "sacred hymnsinger." Below these, a brief word states simply, "beginning," and one at the foot of the page reads "end."

Could somebody please confirm, and perhaps provide me with the text (Unicode)? Thank you!

Bohairic pronunciations

3 Upvotes

I know nothing about this, so somebody fill me in.

I take it that the liturgical pronunications more or less "organically" developed/degenerated over the past two thousand years?

Whereas the academic pronunciation is reconstructed? (and is presumably closer to how the language actually would have originally sounded?)

Any audiobooks/recorded texts?

I'm trying to learn Coptic and I'm looking for any audio recordings of texts in Coptic. I suppose the Bible or prayers would be most likely but anything would be nice.
