Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time.

Coptic, RFV-sense of "Mercury (Roman god)". Google Books results seem to exclusively pertain to personal names (of specimens of Homo sapiens, that is). ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 12:09, 8 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

The word ⲙⲉⲣⲕⲟⲩⲣⲓⲟⲥ comes from the latin Mercurius, which is both the name of the saint and the god. — This unsigned comment was added by ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲟⲇⲱⲣⲟⲥ (talkcontribs).
@ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲟⲇⲱⲣⲟⲥ That is true of course, but the sense for the Roman deity still has to be attested in Coptic. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 08:59, 10 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Lingo Bingo Dingo There is no attestment in Coptic of the Roman diety. In Egypt, the god Mercury would be called Hermes or Thoth or Anoubis, since the greeks and egyptians just called Mercury anything but Mercury.
