Metanoia would be the same in Greco and Old Bohairic (actually, OB would probably say: MatAn-ee-a - first 'a' like America, second A like fAther). But the 'ee' would stay the same.
Google is pronouncing the words the correct way - Mar-ee-a, not Ma…
Yes I think 'father' that works in all English accents! And I just realised, I think EVERYONE says 'ObAmA' the same way - I've heard American reporters say it like 'father'. So it's 'a' as in fAther and obAmA.

If anybody has written anything else please PM the text to me, or post it here so we can get a feel for how big the publication would have to be if we were going to print it.
