226 THANS. ST. LOUIS ACAD. SCIENCE. 



159 represents a kind of coffer, r. k<mi, ,^2" (chaba), abscon- 

 dere, and hence expressess kp, kb, e.g. in ^p (qab), cabus, z(iS'oc, 

 the corrupted ujme (T. S. ix.), rtrh xtzpdycovov (R. S. ix. 54), 

 RTRH, planetary house or chamber (T. B. Ix. Ixi. 144 passim), 

 and, being placed instead of the mountain 0:2cwtofi£), signifies R»>n, 

 terra (T. S. v. vii. x.) See G. M. 118, No. 620, and Pi. xxxi. 

 434 3, xiii. 171, xvi. 209, xix. 248. G., as it seems to me, neg- 

 lected this figure, or copulated it with the following group kr, 

 signifying in his sense " to spare." 



160, kr, gives ilj (gui-)> ^o«'<Ve,. hospitium, domicile, and not 

 " to spare." 



161, 162. This frequently occurring group signifies '-Creator 

 of the world"; for the complete eye, ^hrtic, a. ^cnTe, like oTrrco, 

 a. O/Trw, containing the letters hpt^ expresses ^onr, creare, crea- 

 tor, the contracted 'l>'t (^^t). Hence the T. S. (ix.) calls Egypt 

 " the country (ficvui) of the Creator," because AtyuTzroz contains 

 the words /'«:'«, rcv^i, and '\>-V, oonx, the land of the Creator. There- 

 fore Egypt was called '' HipalaxM^ terra Vulcani ('^"V)- Comp. T. 

 S. xii. xxvii. ; R. S. vi. 40. Our poor Chst., imagining that all 

 groups determined by the city plan signified cities, translates 

 the same group always by " Egypt." See Nos. 105, 107 ; PI. ii. 

 g\, /^, etc. 



163. The notorious leters tak represent the word T*.c!t, Ttoss., 

 plantare, and not, as G. imagined, "thou didst put." 



164 does not signify JAiw.Te, beneplacitum, kindness, as G. fan- 

 cied, but J^epe, amare, amor ; for the hatchet or pickaxe, called 

 .\vev§^po, stands very often, for mr (PI xxxi. 435), and expresses 

 xlyarcdv (Philae-door, R. S. vii. 28). The added figures of a hill 

 and boundary-stone express the letters iw, i.e. to-tio — properly, 

 dividere in duas partes — and hence the ancient word o'jo^ duo, 

 our two, G. zwei, Russ. tva, Slav, dwa, Sanscr. dui, Pers. du, 

 etc. Hence these letters were very often put after syllabic hiero- 

 o-lvphs to indicate that both consonants contained in the name of 

 the hieroglyph are to be pronounced. See G.^E. p. 11, 22 ; PI. 

 xxxi. 435 a, & PL xxi. 278. 



165, 166. See 120, 148, 157. 



167, See PI. i. c. Ch. took the pedum for "corriger, co-^e," 

 and for //, but it expresses 6 and d^.
