This blog is about..a Coptic pen, a feather, a nail or a keyboard !!!
It's a personal written activity, name it thoughts, free writing, prose, poetry, lyrics etc. I'm not fond of taxonomy.

Technical note:
Due to technical difficulty in making a blogger write in Coptic, I chose an Esperanto keyboard to do it. Both have rumours about native speakers, both have dreams.

I used the following:
A, a: alpha
B, b & Ŭŭ or W,w : Wida
G,g, N,n : gamma
D, d: dalda
A, a : ayya
So : never understood why it existed among letters
Z, z : zada
H, h: hada
T, t : Tita, Tetta
I, i, J, j : Yoda
K, k : Kabba
L, l : Laula, Lolla
M, m : Mi
N, n : Ni
KS, ks : Ksi
O, o : o, o-kouji, omicron
B, b : bi
R, r : ro
S, s : sima
D, d, T, t : dau
Ŭ,ŭ, U,u, Ĵ, ĵ : ha
F, f : Phi
K, k, Ŝ, ŝ, Ĥ, ĥ : Key
Ps : Psi
O,o : O, Onishdi, Omega
Ŝ, ŝ : Shai
F. f: Fai
Ĥ, ĥ : Khai
H, h : Hori
Ĝ, ĝ : Djandja
ĴŜ, ĵŝ : Shima
Di, di : Di
