ϩⲩⲡⲟⲑⲉⲥⲓⲥ (TLA lemma no. C11230) - ⲑⲩⲡⲟⲑⲏⲥⲓⲥ incorrect?

[ouromi]

Hi,

The entry for ϩⲩⲡⲟⲑⲉⲥⲓⲥ (TLA lemma no. C11230) gives three Sahidic spellings, one of which is ⲑⲩⲡⲟⲑⲏⲥⲓⲥ. I can't see the context of this attestation to check but it may be ⲧ- fem. sing. definite article + ϩⲩⲡⲟⲑⲏⲥⲓⲥ. If so, the definite article should be removed leaving ϩⲩⲡⲟⲑⲏⲥⲓⲥ. It seems, looking at the usage examples, that (ϩ)ⲩⲡⲟⲑⲉⲥⲓⲥ is treated as both a masculine and feminine noun.

Thanks,
Ambrose

Thanks for reporting! This does look like a fused definite article. There are some Greek words that retain what looks like a fused article as part of the loan process like ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ/(ⲧ)ϩⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ etc., but it doesn't look like that here. @KaJohn-DDGLC could you check the DDGLC source data to confirm that the theta is intended as part of this entry?

Was pointed to this issue by issue #266. Sorry for the late reply. Yes, Amir, 13 of 29 occurrences in our corpus start with ⲑ, which are all a case of a fused article.

Yes, see my response in #266 - I think the right way to do this is to integrate the updated DDGLC data into CCL and then update CDO with the unified CCL file.
