In Jespersen's Cycle, a direct object becomes negation.

Take French "pas" (step). From phrases like "I'm not moving a step," the "ne... pas" negation arose.

#Coptic had a similar Ⲛ︦... ⲀⲚ structure, but the etymology was unclear until now.

Ⲓt's "piece"!

A fun peculiarity in the history of Egyptian #Arabic --

Its French-like "(ne)... pas" negation likely came from #Coptic speakers who knew Arabic as a second language.

And, you can trace back their Egyptian negation 2,000+ years, to usage in the Tale of the Eloquent Peasant.

Prague Egyptological Studies, #OpenAccess and out now!

Note my etymology of the #Coptic negation (Ⲛ︦)... ⲀⲚ, which likely spread into some Arabic & Berber.

As suspected since 1904, it arose much like the French (ne)... pas.
