The Bohairic Coptic Thematic Lexicon
This website is the homepage of the ‘Thematic dictionary of Bohairic Coptic,’ a research project run at the Polis Institute, Jerusalem. 
In the framework of the project, we digitize ancient Bohairic texts and create a corpus-based annotated lexicon.
Each lexical item is linked to its Ancient Egyptian, Greek or Arabic predecessors or cognates.
For example the word ‘snake’:
| Ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲓⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲁⲡⲁⲥ | ⲧ-ⲗ-ⲁ | Ϧⲉⲛⲕⲉⲛⲗⲁⲥ | ||
| #🐍 #𓆑 | ♂ Ϩⲟϥ ♀ ϩϥⲱ ♂♀♂♀ ϩⲃⲟⲩⲓ | “ⲡⲓϩⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲭⲏ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁ ⲡϭⲟⲓⲥ ⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲑⲁⲙⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲟϥ ⲛϯⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲁ ⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗϦⲉⲛ ϣϣⲏⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧϦⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲥⲟⲥ” (ⲅⲉⲛⲉⲥⲓⲥ ⲅ︦, ⲁ︦) | Coptic C7011 Egyptian 104390 | ⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙⲙⲛⲭⲏⲙⲓ ⲛⲁⲡⲁⲥ- 𓎛𓆑𓄿𓅱𓆙 |
