A scathing attack on Arabic, English, and perhaps other languages (1)

The hymn [coptic]ton ;anaton[/coptic]:
http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/view/337
My main comments on this hymn are as follows:
1. note the phrase [coptic]ke tyn analum'in[/coptic]:
♪ [coptic]ke[/coptic]∆ [coptic]ty[/coptic]▲[coptic]n a[/coptic]↔[coptic]na[/coptic]↔[coptic]lu[/coptic]▲[coptic]m'[/coptic]↑[coptic]in[/coptic] ♪ shows us the elevation with the word "Your ascension", so that the music is congruent with the word. Compare that to ▼ وصعودك↓
2. the phrase "[coptic]cou `ntyc ouranyc[/coptic]":
♪ [coptic]c[/coptic]▼[coptic]ou `[/coptic]↑↑[coptic]nty[/coptic]↑↑[coptic]c ou[/coptic]▲[coptic]ra[/coptic]↑[coptic]ny[/coptic]↑↑[coptic]c[/coptic] ♪
which goes without saying that the tune is high to denote "into heaven"; as compared to ▼ إلي  السموات ↓

Edit: a clarification at the end of the second paragraph...
