Descendants

The following words have been commonly proposed as descendants, but seem to have a phonetic mismatch (as Vycichl also notes); a precursor form such as *jbwt /jabaːwat/ would be expected:

  • >? Akhmimic Coptic: ⲁⲃⲟⲩ (abou)
  • >? Bohairic Coptic: ⲁⲃⲱ (abō)
  • >? Fayyumic Coptic: ⲁⲃⲱ (abō)
  • >? Sahidic Coptic: ⲁⲃⲱ (abō)
