Coptic Language?
I know that Coptic language came from egypt, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coptic_language , and I'm looking for a couple words that you guys may know in the language.
Words like Earth, land, ground, sand, dirt, ect.
All I would like to know is how to pronouce them, spelling in english characters would be cool too if thats possible, but i know that may not be possible so just how to pronunce them would be great, not worrying about the spelling.
Thanks For your Help!

piri means sun
pi oh (pronounce the "H") mean moon
foostiir means light
Piioh (not pioh) means moon.
sand is pisho in Coptic.
Land can also be tikhora but it is usually pikhahi.
