Hence it is unclear why the word should have entered Arabic with an initial t, which would have required the word to be grammatically feminine (i.e. Sahidic: *ⲧⲉⲙⲥⲁϩ ; Bohairic: *ϯⲉⲙⲥⲁϩ ). Source: Internet

For example, both Sahidic and Bohairic use the word ebenos, which was taken directly from Greek ἔβενος main "ebony", originally from Egyptian hbny. Source: Internet

It should be noted, however, that Coptic ⲉⲙⲥⲁϩ is grammatically masculine and hence would have been vocalised pemsaḥ or bemsaḥ (Sahidic: ⲡⲉⲙⲥⲁϩ ; Bohairic: ⲡⲓⲉⲙⲥⲁϩ ). Source: Internet

Bohairic uses a superposed point or small stroke known as a djinkim. Source: Internet
