Nice job StMina1. A few things. Some words you gave the definite article (pi, ti, ni) and some you didn't. I'll give everyone the word itself without the definite article, since it depends on context. I'll put masculine or feminine next to the word.
prayer - shlel (m).
incense - esthoinoofi (m)
money - pihomt means copper but refers to money
Both tihomt (give bronze) and tihat (give silver) can mean money, there are other words used for money. Beke (m) means reward or money. Areb or reb (m) means deposit of money. Hat (m) is most often used for money, while Acts 1 uses Evbeke for Judas' "price of wickedness"
honey - pinyni (pineeni)
Pineeni means honeycomb, as does molh/moulh (m) which is also means honey wax and jolh (m) means honeycomb. Honey itself is ebiw (m)
song - hos (m)
sleep - hynim (m) but enkot can be used although it is awkward.
jump - noh or nouh (its a verb that means "to shake, set apart or jump". neh (m) as a noun means "what is shaken" or "that which make something shake". It's the closest thing to jump.
appearance - `tparouci`a (etparoosia)
Parousia is a Greek word. The Coptic word is ouwnh (m).
lamp - pilampac
Lampas is a Greek word. The Coptic word is lyknia (f).
death - `;mwout (ethmo oot)
Death is mou (m). The dead is refmwout (m).
write - eskhai
This is a verb. Writing in Coptic is metheskhai (f).
dictionary - ansaji (m). Literally means "the thing with many words"
egypt - keemi. Without an article it means Egypt. With a masculine article pikeemi means "Black land" or "Black person". Keemi also means oven, brazier or hearth "thing which makes or burns black".
mary - Maria
shoes - pi;wou`i (pitho owi)
So Minute, So Lonely, So Blue (such a long name. I'm using "SoM,SoL,SoB")m
Why do you want Hieratic or Demotic? I'm sure if I had enough time and looked up the many Ancient Egyptian dictionaries online, I'll find most of these words. Are you interested in a particular word?
