Question about preferred rendering of the Coptic particle ngi-   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #8859 of 9046 |
While "tidying-up" my electronic edition of the Coptic text of GTh I noticed
that the particle ngi is sometimes un-joined from its antecedent and other
times it is not. I checked the Brill edition and there it seems to be a
discrete lexeme, although it is hard to tell for sure. I also note that
Mike's interlinear seems to treat it as a bound morpheme (i.e., not a
discrete lexeme but, instead, joined to the antecedent). Which is the
"proper" placement?



Thanks,



Rick Hubbard
