SiY\d fnahi, without any reason, into " friend." I cannot decide- 

 which nonsense, whether that of L. or of G., is the greater. 



216, the familiar suffix " I," like the Hebrew (G. ^E. 38, 43), 

 and hence the natural sense is obvious, " I the Almighty build 

 the valleys, their glens, the many rivers, with my own arms,"^ 

 instead of "they killed many of my companions." 



217. See loi, 109. G. returns to the chimera that the Egyp- 

 tians expressed "not" by the letters hpt. 



218 signifies, according to G., " he (the enemy) raised not his- 

 hand against me." But the eared-snake (^fofi) cannot mean "he 

 raised," particularly since it returns after the following word.. 

 In both cases ^wfi the snake furnishes ^6)6, to make. 



219. The eagle a.o(oja., a. (^AStojA. (G. yE. 67 & 285), and the 

 bearer of a goblet, ^e^iroT (G. JE. 42, 85), with the arm, nOK 

 (amah), give the word ^^«, i.e. ^oni, related with ^Hnne, and 

 wn^^ face, pjx (ap), face, give facies. G. promulgates the new 

 word al)^ i.e. arm, owing to its figurative determinative, " arm." 



220. See 220. G. takes it for the suffix q, his. 



221. 222. The following hieroglyphs specify the different 

 limbs of the human body, created by God. In the first place, 

 the human mouth ; for the crying mouth *Ape>> carries the cor- 

 rupted 9pA., pdw, OS, and the figure of a man c;'''x (ish), &.uj expresses 

 " human." G. regales us with the nonsense, " against me." 



223. Both the eyes, «/, i.e. A.Ao7r; the dual expressed by the 

 hill TiVT (tav), signifying ouo^ duo, two, as we have seen (No. 

 64). G., on the contrary, inserts authoritatively "his," and takes 

 the eyes ideologically, whilst the first signifies a^ the second r or 

 /. In a very similar way two arms express amh, «.jw.a.oj, e.g. on 

 the Tablet of Abydos, where all royal names are preceded by the 

 words fnelek amahi^ the mighty king. A similar example will 

 be noticed in T. B. 6, 2 ; 75, 1 2. 



224, the word "in (bad), limb, spoken of in the premises (No. 

 198), is a substantive, because the following bears the sign of the 

 genitive, A. Nevertheless G. copulates the hill with the clew, 

 and tries to impose on his readers that to signifies " were." 



225, of the arms, signifies " dull," but it is totally unknown to- 

 me in what language, according to G., viaa means " dull." 



226. The figure of a track, §ih (G. J)^. 37, 39) expresses hi 

 and e, e.g. in the word nre (PL xxxi. 232, <i>), and the pullet^
