Dear Remenkimi,
Does anyone know of a direct translation into Coptic of the word 'calendar'? I have only ever seen the word year used in reference to the calendar, e.g. ]rompi `nrem`n,ymi the Egyptian year. I have been told that according to an Arabic-Coptic Dictionary, the word metcwouten is supplied.
However, Crum gives the definition of cwouten (371a) as I. intr, be straight, upright, stretch; II. tr, straighten, stretch. Is metcwouten really accurate, as I have never seen an instance of it? Are there any more Egyptian words for calendar?
Thanks,
Ambrose.
