214 TRANS. ST. LOUIS ACAD. SCIENCE. 



Even the Hebrew pt' (shin) represents a garden, and not, as 

 Gesenius believed, a tooth. This double pronunciation of the 

 garden cannot be denied, and refutes Ch's theory. Our figure 

 expresses likewise 5 and sh in Sisak, Darius, Xerxes. The group 

 under consideration, therefore, contains kt, the Hebrew "ij (gad), 

 the pagan name of the goddess Earth, as Ader-Gad, Der-ceto, 

 etc., evidence. Inconsistent G. brings out the " sacerdotal name, 

 Shat-tat Samtati Afank." Were it not a fact, nobody would be- 

 lieve that a Champollionist had discovered the "sacerdotal name 

 Shat-tat-Samtati Afank" in a passage which contains the simple 

 words, " the manager of terrestrial gardens of all nations." 



46. See PI. ii. Nos. g. k. 13, iv. 23, 105, 107, 191, 192, etc. 



47. See Nos. 19, 36. 



48. The viper, differing from other snakes, was called 2c&.T-qe, 

 cy'A.T-fiG, o'd.T-liG, i.e. 2cey.T-^ofi, cTivT-^fio, the snake ra.t, the cor- 

 rupted ciT, expresed kt in many words (G. JE. p. 73, No. 328), 

 and hence we have the word 2s.eT-eq, dictus ; namely, like NT 

 (ge). 



49 The crux ansata, as we have seen (PI. i. a), signifies ank, 

 and hence avaz-c, regent. This is confirmed by the joined 

 A.UJ = ^>^ (ish), man, by which the word ivuj eiwne.R, the man of 

 the reign. In the Hebrew C"S (ish) always precedes the main 

 substantive, e.g. in Icharist, whilst the Egyptians put it after the 

 main substantive. T. B. 94, 3, 144, 13, 145, 79. See farther on 

 Nos. 88, 90. 



50, the pupil of the eye, ev^AoT, related with i^x. 1"iN. nx (are), 

 ecce, which, as every Egyptologist knows, expresses a and ar 

 {G.JE. 46, 130), and here bx (el), i.e. together with, represents 

 a substantive, the following word commencing with n, the sign 

 of the genitive. Unfortunate G. refers the eye to ep, facere, and 

 translates it by "born," which, in his eyes, is the same. 



51. If this group signifies "lady," the same group No. 44, 

 of course, must likewise signify the same, and then Vespasian 

 ■was a "lady." Such are the fruits of Ch's "orthodox" system. 



52 is the word No. 49, already explained, but in the femi- 

 nine form, because the added / corresponds with the Hebrew n 

 {\), e.g. in DDbo (melechet), regina, G. discovered the name of 

 the said "lady," namely, "Anchta."
