Entou انتو

The Coptic Root: In Coptic, the pronoun for a group of people is Ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲏ (Nthōten) or Ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ (Entōten).

The Linguistic Violation of Arabic Rules: In standard Arabic, plurals are strictly divided by biological sex. If you talk to a group of men, you must say Antum (أَنْتُمْ). If you talk to a group of women, you must say Antunna (أَنْتُنَّ).

The Masri Correction: Egyptians flat-out refused this Semitic gender split. Whether talking to twenty men, twenty women, or a mixed crowd, every Egyptian uses a single, unchanging plural word: إنتو (entou).

The Coptic Blueprint: Why did Masri throw away the masculine Antum and feminine Antunna? Because Coptic grammar does not divide plural pronouns by gender. The Coptic pronoun Entōten is invariant—it is used for both men and women seamlessly. Egyptians just dropped the final nasal -ten sound of Entōten, kept the rounded plural back-vowel harmony (ⲟⲩ / ou), and created انتو.
