This chapter examines Sahidic Coptic morpho-syntax, focusing on prenominalverb states, clitics, word segmentation, and noun incorporation using the CopticSCRIPTORIUM corpus. It analyzes noun and pseudo-noun incorporation, wordsegmentation complexities, and clitic categorization. The study addresses threemain questions: the characteristics of Coptic noun incorporation, the impact of segmentation on morpho-syntactic boundaries, and the distinction and role of cliticsin Coptic grammar. This research contributes to understanding Coptic morpho-syntax and its typological features, supporting further linguistic studies and comparisons with Afro-Asiatic languages.
