User:Ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲟⲇⲱⲣⲟⲥ/Coptic translation of the Ode to Aphrodite by Sappho

Sappho_and_Erinna_in_a_Garden_at_Mytilene

This is a Coptic translation of Sappho's famous, Ode to Aphrodite, according to the website Neos Alexandria. Keep in mind that this is a rough translation. I do not attest that this is the correct and only correct translation. I've had to import words from Greek, since there are no Coptic words for that particular term and the grammar has yet to be fully checked. However, any suggestions on grammar, wording, or any other such things will be taken into account and considered. Enjoy Sappho in Coptic.
