99. The Egyptian name of the boat was 2tooiri, the corrupted 

 2C0I. the Heb. nii* (kafu). corruptl}' "'i: (kaya). Lat. scapha, Gr. a/A^r^^ 

 our skiff', Ger. Schifl', k being softened into s (p. 215, 58). Comp. 

 Flli* (kup), natare. Hence it expressed the word Rfien., i.~o.n'jvzcv 

 (R. S. vi. 41), and noix, tcar^/Msu (PL xxxi. 428, «;). In this place, 

 therefore, it expresses the word KHen, RA-n, land. Of course there 

 are two kinds of animals, one living in the water (94), the other 

 on the land. G. regales his readers with the nonsense, " I have 

 been faithful unto thee." 



100. See 89, 91, 95. 



101. the well-known extension of the arms, the fathom, meas- 

 uring six feet, orgya, ^ikot, which exhibits the word ^oott, as- 

 ^onT, sylvestris, and signifies very often ^^oht, adjunge, atque. 

 G.yE. 50, No. 160. G. takes, without any renson, these arms for 

 " not," like Brugsch Bey. See 109, 262, 273. T. B. xli. passim. 



102. See 5, 84.

 71, 316. Hence the beetle signifies circumference or form, as the 

 following words demonstrate. It is, moreover, a substantive ow- 

 ing to the following u, zoo, of. I do not understand at all how 

 G. translates these groups by "I have made (for myself)." At 

 the very least, he wilfully suppressed some hieroglyphs. 



104. evuj, c>\S (ish). See 28, 49, 88, 90, 97. The Creator pro- 

 vided the man with muscles and skin. 



105. misrepresented by B., is the well-known city plan fie^Ki, 

 signifying here, ns (pach), funiculus, filament. B. brings out 

 " dwelling," because city and dwelling are the same in the eyes 

 of Mr. G. 



106. The horns, xivii, express the syllable // very often, e.g. 

 in evTooTTi. beginning (T. S. xviii.), a-tooti xopv^, Venus orientalis^ 

 the morning star. (PI. xxxi. 429, 430, «.) See G. yE. 57, Nos. 

 219, 220. G. elicits the word " except." 



107 (see 105), obviously "cuticle," because ns (pach) signifies 

 also " lamina." 



108, the easily recognizable KAd.--jT. i.e. Ke^A ooott. vestimen-
