Coptic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]
Ultimately from Egyptian
Hr
Z1
(ḥr, on) + mrw. The interpretation of mrw is unclear; Černý considers it to be a variant of
U7
r
wN25
(mrw, desert), while Vycichl equates it with
U7
r
wN23 Z1
Z2
(mrw), a variant form of
U7
r
iit
N23
(mryt, riverbank, quay, harbor), which fits better with the Coptic evidence semantically but perhaps not phonetically. By surface analysis, ϩⲓ- (hi-, on) +‎ ⲙⲏⲣ (mēr, (opposite) shore).

Preposition

[edit]

ϩⲓⲙⲏⲣ (himēr)

  1. (Bohairic) on or at the other side (of), beyond
