Las Gupt Grammar

The vocabulary is (so far) pure Sahidic Coptic, in my own romanization. The grammar is a subset of Esperanto grammar, simple and easy to learn.


Plurals

Coptic has a diversity of plural forms and irregular plurals. They may be used if they appear in the dictionary (only 26 do), or one may simplify them, using preferably -ui, -ue, or -oue, but -e and -Eue are also acceptable. This will be worked out in the course of using the language.


Verb Tenses

Verbal terminations are modeled after Esperanto ones, e.g. peje, peja to say:

past: pejise, present: pejase; future: pejose; conditional: pejuse; imperative: peju! or pejou!


Pronouns

The pronouns are the ones given in the dictionary.

This file will be updated as needed in the future.

The upper-case "C" in my romanization is to be pronounced "tch."
