vocab VIII Gardiner, Egyptian Grammar

Observations. Already know these, nanner nanner nanner. They were all included within the examples provided previously. They and their relatives were already looked up and already have cards. So these cards are duplicates, possibly with slight variations in definitions depending on the consistency of the text.

This seems ass-backwards, dunnit? To use the vocabulary in examples then provide the list of words to learn that were already used. Should be the other way around. Show us the words needed to grasp examples, then use them in examples. But this is how children absorb language. They first hear the words being used, struggle with understanding their meanings and absorb their utility, then attempt to use them, and THEN encounter corrections.

But Homey don't play dat, so all this becomes mere review. Iteration, as it were. Reiteration. Repetition. Replication. Replay. Reduplication. A tautological return. Dilogy. Recurrences. Pure battology. If it were a test, I'd ACE IT! Bwah ha ha ha ha.

Just be thankful I'm not bothering with the class you're taking because I'd totally fuck your curve.

mhy be neglectful, careless	ḳd build

ḥm Majesty	b3w might (plur.)
sp occasion, time, deed, fault	sr noble
bỉt qualities, talent	ḏr since

m3r wretched	rnpt year

My favorite one here is nḏnḏ for "converse", "take counsel" not just because it's fun to draw but because it reminds me of "nudge, nudge" converse -- nudge. It's funny. They're all funny. I notice that many ancient words possess vague appositeness to modern English, you know that cannot possibly be true and that makes it funny, and funny makes them exceedingly easy to remember. That, and them being so doggone graphic.

Other exx.

1) mhy-careless. Mahy oh mahy, yo sho iz careless wif deem snow balls (it's really bread).

2) ḥ3ty𐅁, sounds like "haughty" for chieftain, local prince, mayor, essentially VIP. Ha Ha ha.

3) ḳd, kid, (qed, really) for both "build"and "for character, good character, virtue" kind of like you want to build character in your kid.

4) tp, toilet paper "upon" your "head" Ha Ha Ha. Who hasn't done that? What? You were never a kid?

5) Majesty, ḥm, Himself.

6) b3w - might (plur.) Baw baw baw baw baw -- scary.

7) sp -- occasion, time, deed fault. The icon is a picture of a granary floor. It looks like a pizza to me. Going out for pizza with friends is a "sp"ecial occasion.

8) sr for noble. Yes, Sir!

9) ḥḏ - white, bright. (hard h + dj) Head lights on the hedge sure are bright.

10) m3r- wretched. This wretched situation is a mar on humanity.
