If any practitioners of the PGM could throw me a bone here, it would be tremendously appreciated - Koine Greek seems to be the way to go, but it's a huge field of study given that's it's also the language of the New Testament and Septuagint.

For practical purposes I'm mostly interested in the pronunciation, but I find myself overwhelmed in choosing a starting point

so whenever I get around to learning Greek I will probably start with Koine and then use the Egyptian vowel pronunciation for PGM specific names.
