| 1 | Documentary letters and legal texts in UNEDITED SPELLING — the register the wish list says the normalization stage's variant table actually needs, in a genre the catalogue is thin on and which is otherwise effectively all Sahidic. Verified on rendered page 40: Crum's notes on papyrus XII with Coptic forms quoted in the Coptic script (ⲙⲉⲩⲗⲓⲉ, ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲉ, ⲙ̄ⲛ̄ⲉⲙⲗⲁⲛ) and his own dialect verdict, quoted verbatim: "The M.E. element predominates over the Sah. in this text". The dialect recorded here is FAYUMIC/Middle Egyptian per Crum's own notes — per document, never guessed, when the texts themselves are ingested. |

Layers as published by the Kemetic project (Yousef Hanna), 2026: Coptic · Cairene · Kemetic, /doc/documentary/coptic-manuscripts-from-the-fayyum-crum-and-petrie-1893/crum-and-petrie-coptic-manuscripts-brought-from-the-fayyum-1893.scan/.
What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
