	And, then they disappeared.

a-	past conjugation base	

@n-demOn "the demons" = n- + Greek daimOm, spelled {demOn} because the
	diphthong {ai} was already heard as /e/.

coo-s 	"say it", but marked by a- as past, and the -s is a dummy pronoun
	not expressed in English.

@n-ke-h@llo "to another elder", n- + ke (earlier ky) + hllo (from Demotic
	Xl-`3j).  Elders were the senior monks in this community.

eu-ouOS "they wanting", e- is a marker of a circumstantial form in Coptic.
	It comes from earlier jw.  -u "they".  ouOS from older wx3.

e-plana "to lead astray", e- from earlier r.  plana = Greek planein.

@mmo-f	"him".  Coptic used prepositions to mark objects of verbs.  mmof
	is from earlier jm=f.

ce 	"that", marks the quotation.

-k-ouOS "you want", bipartite sentence pattern for present tense with -k
	as the subject.  In Late Egyptian this would have been tw=k-wx3,
	but by Late Demotic the practice was already to substitute jw=f
	for tw=k in such expressions.

e-nau 	"to see", from earlier r nw.

e-pe-khristos "the Christ".  The object marker for {nau} is e, from older
	r.

@ntof de "but as for him".  de is a Greek particle, and ntof is from
	earlier ntf.

peca-f na-u ce "he said to them that"

-tet@n-o @n-anathuma "you are accursed".  The bipartite sentence pattern
       for you pl. subect, with {o} the stative of eire "do/make" means
       "wrought/is/are". n- = older m of predication.  anathuma is from
       Greek anathEma, where iticism (the pronunciation of several
       vowels had come to be /i/) caused contemporary {E} to be heard as
       /i/, which could also (in Greek of the period) be written {u}.
