#Now for readers that can read books something that you our dear iam cannot I urge them to check Nabil Matter "A study in Bohairic Coptic" Published by Hope publishing house Pasadena.

>This is utter nonsense. Here is a chart of the ancient Phoenecian - it does NOT contain the 'V' Alphabet: http://phoenicia.org/tblalpha.html

Hello: we are talking about Coptic or did you forget? and the real nonsense here is your drivel

>Here is a chart of the ancient Hebrew - it does contain the 'V': http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/3_home.html

What does Hebrew have to do with the language of Egypt? Let me help you: Nothing.

# You mean the language of 1st Century Egypt which you are presenting as ancient Egypt - falsely? This is what I responded to - your manipulation to make a recent language of Arabic, first appearing as late as the 4th century - as ancient as nations which predate the Arab race. Obviously, you have no proof because there is none - thus your manipulation to fool people.

---------------------------------------------------------

>The Hebrew introduced the 'V' letter, while the other ancient languages did not have this letter or sound. That Arabic uses the B for AVraham [Ibrahim] says it adapted from the Latin bible, having no Arabic writings pre-400 CE. The charts also say that Phnoenceain was not the prototype of the Hebrew as is commonly portrayed - it is the other way around. We have no ancient Phoenecian alphabetical books as with the Hebrew - even though Phoenecia was an older kingdom and one which lasted about a 1000 years after the Hebrew emerged. This is not a standout anomaly - the Hebrew bible made a host of introductions for humanity, including:The DAY and WEEK.

Hello: stay focused

# I am. You have nothing which evidences Arabic as an ancient language older than 400 CE because it is a recent admix of ancient languages - thus you present bogus references of EA. You have no proof of an Arab race pre-500 BCE - because it never existed - thus you present bogus references of Arvi and other words which can be manipulated to sound like Arab. You have no proof of the 'V' in any language predating the Hebrew - making your manipulation of Arvi and Avdat all the more bogus.
