I fear that now some opponents of the authentic pronunciation and supporters of the so-called Greco-Bohairic pronunciation may argue that they have the evidence of a Manchester certified thesis.. I believe you know what I mean..

The thesis is just documenting a pronunciation. It is an observation of how people talk now. No one denies that most churches use Greco-Bohairic pronunciation. This is a different question than the one about the histrocity and authenticity.

To link it to the main discussion, it does not matter if someone writes that this word is from Coptic etymology, or that proverb was originally Coptic, what matters is their methodology and evidence. Otherwise, I cannot take unsubstantiated claims seriously.

There is a difference between the ability to translate a proverb and to write in Coptic style.

This is why translated proverbs do not reflect Coptic style or philosophy. I would refrain from proverb translations
