Dictionary

    • ⲁ
        • ⲁ-, ⲁ⸗ (Crum 1 a), verbal prefix, from 𓁹 (Wb. 1, 112, 1–3); (Er. 36, 3), ꞽrꞽ, 'make, do'.
          • HStern, Kopt. Gr., 215, §374 [1880]; cf. Steindorff, Kopt. Gr., 1st ed., 126, §276, Anm. [1894]; DRevillout, Setna, 96 [1877]. The Egn. verbal form involved is 𓁹𓐰𓆑, ꞽr·f > L. Egn 𓁹𓇌𓆑 ꞽry·f (not 𓁹𓐰𓂋𓆑, ꞽrr·f or 𓇋𓀁𓁹𓐰𓂋𓆑, ꞽꞽr·f) and Dem. ꞽr·f.

          • ⲁ- (Crum 1 a), prefix of Imperative = L. Egn. 𓇋𓀁, ꞽ-; Dem. or (Er. 15, 3), ꞽ-.
