How this Lexicon Differs from Other Editions

• Common affixes (e.g. "mmo-" and "-k-") and suffixes (e.g. "-F")
• Common idiomatic forms (e.g. "nka nim" and "oua oua").
• Common loanwords from Greek (including proper names).
• Comparitive notes with roots, related words, spelling variants, etc.
• Verbal prefix forms for the various tenses.

Note on Abbreviations

In the English translation, most nouns are preceded by: m. (masculine), f. (feminine) or p. (plural), and v. precedes some verb forms (i.e. imperatives, possessives, and verbal tense prefixes). The letter s means singular. The numbers 1, 2, and 3 represent person.

Note on Frequency for Common Words

English definitions with two asterisks (**) represent common words that appear over 75 times in Sahidica. Definitions followed by a single asterisk (*) occur over 25 times.

Important Note on Alphabetization

Traditionally, each Coptic word is alphabetized in lexicons (e.g. Crum, Smith) first by consonants then by vowels. The word "Coptic" for example would be alphabetized as if it were spelled Cptcoi.

Thus, the following words: Captain, Cetacean, Circle, Coptic, Cuddle; would appear in a lexicon: Cuddle, Coptic, Captain, Circle, Cetacean.

Unlike other lexicons, and like the Glossary section in Thomas Lambdin's Introduction to Sahidic Coptic, this lexicon breaks with that tradition.

This lexicon alphabetizes words in the manner of standard Greek to English lexicons and English dictionaries.

The reason for this change is to make it easier for students of Greek to use the lexicon. Thus avoiding further difficulty in learning the Sahidic dialect of the Coptic language.

The Order of Alphabetization in this Lexicon.

The following graph shows the order of alphabetization in this lexicon.

It is important to note the positions of "ei" ("i") and of "ou" ("u").

For each letter in the graph: Key is the transliteration key used in Sahidica; Name is based on Plumley; Value is the standard transliteration; and Pronunciation is similar to Lambdin.

Suggested Reading
