Oh please...don't confuse "wife" with "bride" - Edit 1

There's a clear difference. First, Jesus used the term "bridegroom" as an allegory, and the term "bridegroom" and "bride" are totally different in all the relevant languages from "husband" and "wife". In Coptic that would require using "šeleet" instead of "(s)hime" (the "s" appearing in some dialects, not in others).
