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!

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")
