    As my priest always says, may our Lord give him many years and keep him as he did St. Shenouda the Archmandrite (118 years).

    Does anyone know what the word Shenouda actually means?

    On a lighter note:

    She-en-nooti = The Son of God.
    Also known as Senotios or Senothios. There are many cotic geniuses on this site. they can corrct me if I am wrong.

    isn't "epshiri em-efnouti"= the Son of God?

    Hi there,

    Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I looked up both the English http://www.almasryalyoum.com/en/node/510550 and the Arabic (http://www.almasryalyoum.com/node/510891 versions - and there seems to be some sort of discrepancy...
    The English version (dated 31/10/2011) does state that His Holiness has cancelled it, but the Arabic version (dated 1/11/2011) states that despite doubts that it was going to be cancelled, celebrations are going ahead...

    Any clarifications as to the final word?

    In standard Bohairic Coptic, it is epshiri emefnout. However, certain subdialects of Sahidic and Bohairic Coptic, there is a lineage of non-standard words observed: shyri (standard bohairic) and shyre (standard sahidic) came from shr- (sahidic, akhmimic) which became shl- (fayummic) which became she (sahidic) which became shen- (bohairic, sahidic, fayummic, oxhyrhynuchus) as a contraction of she en-. So "shenennouti" contracted into "shenouti" (bohairic) or "shenoute" (sahidic)

    (The negative sign "-" means the word is conjugated or attached to the second noun. So you would not see shr by itself. You would see shrGeorge "Son of George" or shrncyni "son of [the] doctor")

    This is found in Crum's dictionary page 584a.

    I hoped this helped.

    guys she means little son. in an interview with pope shenouda back 10 15 years ago he explains it. Shiri is son as well but she means young son or small one
