Egyptian Dictionary Notes

Abstract

The appearance of Part 5 of the proof texts for Volume IP1 gives occasion to raise a few questions. The reviewer had hoped that developments since the appearance of the dictionary volumes proper might be reflected in the supplementary portions. Either this is not the case, or the conservatism of the editors still restrains them from noting unproved possibilities. It would be tempting, for example, to suggest in note 15 to Worterbuch II 319 that nsr may be a fish-god, since a 3d dynasty word of that spelling with fish determinative is published by B. Gunn in Annales du Service XXVIII (1928) 163 and P1. III 5 a.
