bolically according to Ch. But, alas ! the beater expresses the 

 same syllable signified by the beating arm, viz. ht^ ^ire, ferire 

 (G.^'E. 53, 178), to the effect that the words ^itc, to spin; T^j (gid), 

 Oin (chut), related with ^lOciTe, a woven stuff', are spelled out,, 

 and not a " chief." 



194, The flower or bouquet standing very often for the cony,, 

 called cuni-culus, Germ. Kaninchen, Ital. coniglio, etc., even in 

 the same words, it is natural that both glyphs must express the 

 same sounds. See PI. xxxi. 437, a. Now, the bilingual coffin 

 of Turin expresses k in X£us6(6;: (wrongly spelled l^£V£6c6c: by 

 San Quintino in Transactions of the Turin Academy, 1825) by 

 the cony, and the Philae-door applies the same cony for k in kn 

 {xaivo^) ; accordingly, the bouquet must have been called Rfvn, 

 the corrupted iA.n, flos, viola ; which is confirmed by Plutarch 

 (del. c. 37, p. 365), saying that Xev-oacpcc: means (fozov' Oairndo!;. 

 Consequently our group (^jtg, i.e. ^ore, pudendum; rotti, penis) 

 signifies pudendum virile. Our Ch., on the contrary, renders it 

 " of the park" ; and it would be very interesting to learn in what 

 language htkn stands for " park." 



195, The foot (TI&.T). it is known (G.^E. 55, 206), signifies- 

 syllabically bi, and hence the word na (bad), related with oiroiT, 

 separare, membrum. The added auj, ^■'^^ (isii), gives membrunt 

 virile. G., being unable to interpret this group, forgot to mark 

 it by " " 



196, containing the well-kuovvn letters wza/^,' refers to the root 

 MORM.eR, related with no (moak), cerebrum, and furnishes the 

 word " excogitavi." G. translates " didst defend," a wonderful 

 divination. 



197, n*^K, for thee, and not " thou," as G. would have us be- 

 lieve, because the case-sign is added before k. 



198, the before-mentioned clew (^otit) or thread 12 (bad), the 

 corrupted o're.T^j (Nos. 16, 180, 154), which, determining the 

 names of all human limbs by 12 (bad,) signifies both " thread " 

 and "limb." See e.g. T.B. PI. xix. 42 ; Description de I'Eg. v. 

 25 ; Papyrus Minutoli ; The London Museum, No. 2. G. trans- 

 lates our group by " didst," which is one of the choice speci- 

 mens of his immortal translations.
