Eight Curveball Letters! - Learn to Read Coptic - Part 2

We will familiarize ourselves with these letters, and use them alongside the letters we learned previously to practice pronouncing some Coptic words. Learn how to read Coptic by watching this video! Coptic is the last phase of the Ancient Egyptian Language.

10:00 I believe the final Vita in this word should be pronounced as a B and not a V.

Well done, nice and easy explaination! Strangely in this period I fell in love with the coptic language and you are helping me a lot with pronunciation, unfortunately my book doesnt help too much. Now I'm studying a bit the verbal systema and its a lot difficult for me. I hope your work can continue without problems

I have some questions:

0:56 Is "Ⲣⲣ" actually pronounced as /ɹ/ as in English as in 3:31 "Ⲉⲣⲙⲏ" or it was an error and it should be pronounced as /r/ as the Spanish rolling "R" /r/? Maybe even as the flap "R" /ɾ/? Because 2:32 "Ⲣⲁⲛ" and 2:36 "Ⲣⲉⲛ" are pronounced as the flap "R" /ɾ/. Is there any rules for when it could be a flap /ɾ/ or a rolling /r/?
1:30 Is "Ⲱⲱ" actually pronounced as /əʊ/-/oʊ/ or as /oː/ similar to /ɔː/ as in "North"?
2:43 Shouldn't "Ⲭⲱⲥ" be pronounced as /koːs/ instead of /kuːs/? Same with 10:00 "Ϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ" being pronounced as /xuːtev/ instead of /xoːteb/. Adding the final "ⲃ" problem because supposedly after a vowel it should be pronounced as /b/ and not /v/.
2:56 Shouldn't "Ⲍⲱⲏ" be pronounced as /zoːiː/ or /zoiː/? Why it has an /u̯/-/w/ connecting the letters like /zoːu̯iː/? Same situation with 8:05 "Ϥⲱⲓ".
3:44 Is the final "ⲓ" in "Ⲃⲱⲕⲓ" pronounced as "Ⲉⲉ" /e/ due to an error or it's an exception?
3:49 Something similar with "Ⲍⲱⲏ" but now the "ⲱ" in 2:56 "Ⲍⲱⲛⲏ" is separated from a vowel and pronounced as /uː/ like in the 2:43 "Ⲭⲱⲥ" example. Is it a rule? How does it works? Because in the next example 3:55 "Ⲥⲱⲛⲓ" it is clearly pronounced as /oː/.
4:40 Shouldn't "Ⲃⲁⲥⲛⲏⲧ" be pronounced as /väsˈniːt/ instead of /vänˈsiːt/?
5:00 Is there an extra-hidden "ⲉ" in "Ⲉⲣⲭⲣⲓⲁ" like "Ⲉⲣⲉ*ⲭⲣⲓⲁ" as an exception or it's an error?
5:25 Is "Ⲉⲣⲙⲏⲛⲓⲁ" pronounced as "Ⲣⲙⲏⲛⲓⲁ" or that starting "Ⲉ" shouldn't be strongly pronounced?
7:10 Just like in 5:00 "Ⲉⲣⲭⲣⲓⲁ", is there another extra-hidden "ⲉ" in "Ⲓϧ" like "Ⲓⲉ*ϧ" or an error?
8:37 "Ⲟⲩⲁⲓ" and 8:41 "Ⲟⲩⲏⲃ" differentiates between "Ⲟ" and "ⲩ" in this case because it isn't from Greek origin or it's an error and it should be pronounced as /u̯äi/? Because in 8:46 "Ⲟⲩⲱⲙ" it is pronounced as /ˈoʔ.om/ and 8:51 "Ϥⲧⲟⲩ" "ⲟⲩ" is pronounced as "Ⲱⲱ" /oː/. Same with 9:50 "Ϯⲟⲩⲣⲟ" which is pronounced as /tioːɾo/.
10:30 Shouldn't "Ϯⲥⲩⲣⲓⲁ" be pronounced as /tiˈsiː.ɾja/ instead of /tiˈso.ɾja/?
10:53 Is there an extra-hidden "ⲁ" in the word "Ⲇⲓⲟⲛⲩⲥⲟⲥ" like "Ⲇⲁ*ⲓⲟⲛⲩⲥⲟⲥ"?
