The grammatical mistake of ⲁⲣⲓⲯⲁⲗⲓⲛ
« on: 15 October , 2026, 02:06:32 PM »
The Acrostic Psali Aripsalin ⲯⲁⲗⲓ ⲏⲭⲟⲥ ⲃⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲣⲓⲯⲁⲗⲓⲛ by ⲥⲁⲣⲕⲓⲥ (Sarkis) who probably wrote several acrostic psalis esp. in Kiahk bearing the initials of his name instead of the regular alphabet as in Aripsalin.
Fr Shenouda Maher Ishak (Rochester, NY, US - D. Phil Coptic language, Oxford) stated that the verse that starts with ⲭ /chi/ should be as follows correction in red ⲭⲱⲗⲉⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⲛ̀ϣⲣⲱⲓⲥ
ⲱ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲣⲥⲉⲃⲉⲥⲑⲉ ⲙ̀ⲡ⳪̅
ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲫⲩⲥⲓⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲁⲓⲥ
ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲣⲓϩⲟⲩⲟϭⲁⲥϥ
as the original was  "ⲛⲓⲫⲩⲥⲓⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲁⲓⲥ" It seems as a clear grammatical mistake. as ⲉⲧⲁϥⲁⲓⲥ is for single feminine object, the stated object in the sentence is written as plural, to keep the the quatrain's rhyming scheme intact ending in 'IC' the singular feminine form should be used. 
I hope it gets corrected in newer prints  of the Psalmody
