Subject: [B-Greek] Question on Coptic and Greek


Attempting to improve my skill level in Coptic from rudimentary to 
elementary, I was looking at the Gospel of Thomas today, and noticed that 
there are a lot of Greek words.  Since the only Coptic literature I have 
ever looked at are some portions of the NT itself and GoT, I was wondering 
whether this is typical of Sahidic Coptic itself, lots of Greek loan words, 
or does it reflect the specific background of the GoT?  I know this is 
slightly off topic, so feel free to answer offline.
