Byzantine Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 What's a word from another language for "Christ" that sounds little like "Christ" or "Messiah?" It can't be English's "Anointed One." Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Just found this online: The Coptic Language makes use of abbreviations as well, especially with words that are used frequently. An abbreviated word can be recognized by a bar on its top. For example, the words for "Jesus Christ" (pronounced Isoos Pi'ekhrestos in Coptic) are abbreviated as shown below (see also the Copt-Net Logo on top of this Newsletter): ___ ___ IHC nXC (Abbreviated forms of the words "Jesus" and "Christ") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
