213 THANS. ST. LOUIS ACAD. SCIENCE. 



Ke.^«, pi. ivevOHOT-, a. rcviu, vestimentum ; therefore -^i Kiv«^i signified 

 cylindrus textoris — Yxi^x^Wy, the bearer of the texture. Hence 

 KtoRd^^HT- is spoliatus vestimentis, nudatum esse. The added 

 letters kt, ROiT, forms, with the preceding kwoi. the wrapping 

 cloth. The same group, moreover, including the same meaning, 

 occurs farther on, Nos. 187, 190. Besides, the same word, some- 

 times written rwt raoi instead of r^v^i rojt, was the frequent 

 name of the moon, because the latter, owing to her celerity, 

 resembled a weaver, the clothier of the earth. Ch. spells our 

 group fakt, which is meaningless, because the letters are very 

 often transposed. Mr. G. brings out the city of '^ Seket," which 

 is a still greater blunder. 



32, 33. After m. A, of, we notice the figure of thrashed straw, 

 TOO, a. TO* (T. B. xli.), r. ypn. N3-I. r\zn (daka), which signifies 

 t \i\ many proper names (G. ^. 84, No. 407), and very often 

 Ttovy a. Tw*, provincia, nonius, and t.\u} a. tor, compingere, 

 contexere, testura, e.g. in Te.iy-ujoA\.e, a fine texture ; Ger. Tuch. 

 Hence it expresses too-, plantation (of the earth). B. puts a line 

 («) instead of straw. 



34. See 27. 



35. The hamper, related with the Latin corb-is. Germ. Korb, 

 31^3 (kelub), signifies kip (PI. xxx. 421, ^, on Minutoli's papy- 

 rus G. ^. 84, 405), and hence our group expresses the word 



Aivpo, ^y (gal), upon, with the suflfix q, "on which." 



06. See 19, 47. Poor G., having forgotten the names of the 

 papyrus and the spade, repeats the nonsensical " Samtati," and 

 translates the preceding groups, " in the whole land," although 

 ''the whole" is not to be seen on the tablet. 



37, the household name of father, generator, Tefi, c.toots-i, with 

 the sign of Hith-pael (nn% wherefore we have to translate : gignunt 

 se, ox gignuntur. B. changed the arm with the club, which sig- 

 nifies oiTe, ferire, and «^ (ht) in OdxiXocpcz, into the arm a, and 

 hence poor G. creates the new city "Samtati-Taf-Nekt," without 

 carino- that no city plan — Ch's mimetic determinative of cities — 

 follows Samtati-Taf-Nekt, and that of the word "Nekt" no trace 

 is to be found. 



38. The name of the goose was ca»oc, related with Ger. Husche, 

 Boh. huz,but that of the gander was Rene-ca>oc, literally the pro- 

 genitor anser, the Gr. xrjv ; and hence the group PI. xxx. 422, b.
