I, 9; 17, 19; 18, 6; 64, 9; etc.), and is very often replaced by- 

 other hieroglyphs of the same value. See PI. xxxi. 436, a^ 

 xvi. 205. 



174. The figure of a blind man (fieAAe) groping along a road, 

 by means of a staff', expresses bl in korbal^ corrupted 'ApoYjpic 

 (see Yong's Hieroglyphics, PI. 65), instead of 'i2;0-/9i^/rc (PI. 

 xxxi. 436, b). The same figure appears in the group pyn (baal), 

 ~i2v (Heliopolis), i.e. the ~o?.:o~j'/o; of On, and is frequently ren- 

 dered by the synonyms «k.Td>., validus; uccoav., validus; ssLop, fortis; 

 OTto'.\e, mighty, etc. See T. B. I, 23 ; 15, 35, etc. ; 19, 14, 32, i,. 

 9, 41, 4, etc. St. L. T. vol. i. PL 5, 7, 6, 35. G. brings out 

 " councellors," and puts the pronomen before the substantive, 

 provided he did not designedly omit the words 172 and 173. 



17.^, oiuu, court, expressed by the notorious figure of the snake 

 otoli. G. translates it by "did." 



170. The star, called 3Dn (kokab), 2D33 (kabkab), corrupted 

 cuoT (siv), furnishes the word " splendor." G. guesses the stars. 

 to signify "honor," in view, perhaps, of the stars of decoration. 



177, ivcwju, for the men, or everyone, and not "for me," as what 

 follows clearly shows. 



178 — shamefully corrupted by B., who changed two letters — 

 represents the well-known word pe^n-'i, in Coptic '4-p-Mt, placens» 

 beneplacitum. G. discovers this group to signify " he gave,'*' 

 since rn, in his dictionary, mean " to give." 

 17U. See 177. 



180. The clew being called ^out (PI. vi. 66, xix. 251, xv. 198,. 

 xii. 154; G.^-E. p. Ill, Nos. 585, ^86) and the horns, Td.p (G./^. 

 57, 219) form the word ooth, combinare, creare, and not "the 

 post," as G. fancied. 



181. See PI. iv. 30. G. takes the handkerchief, kcvjci, for 

 " chief," perhaps by a Mexican trick. 



182. See No. 30. G., of course, brings out "priests," although 

 no sign of plurality is added. 



183. See No. 31. Ch. and L. pronounce this group "Pacht," 

 and now we have to spell " Sechet," a city down to this day to- 

 tally unknown, 



184. 185. This frequently occurring group simply contains 

 the letters /^s //, i.e. ^ice, Isis, and in (thaf), from the root nin 

 (thafa), habitavit, habitatio; for from the Hebrew ND3 (kisse),.
