249. See No. 7. PI. xxx. 414, b. G. translates the figure by 

 ^' alone," and yet the same figure (No. 7) signifies "javelin." I 

 feel unable, I confess, to tell by what hocus-pocus it was discov- 

 ei^ed that the weaver's shuttle represents both "javelin" and 

 " alone," of course ideologically. 



2-50 is not a, nor mimetically arm, but the syllable nON (amah), 

 ■the CojDtic A\.&.^i, to the effect that two arms express ivjw.A.«3i (mighty) 

 on the Tablet of Abydos repeatedly : ^^jo (melek) 6.A\.d.oi, the mighty 

 king. See PI. xxx. 444. G. translates the arm with the clew 

 ^'by thyself," but this singular interpretation, I am sad to say, sur- 

 passes my capacity. 



251. See 66, 154. 



252. See loS. The context proves that the elbow was under 

 consideration, of which the names Kd^\-&.nRA.§^, neA-nRes.^, ReA- 

 enRe^^Cr. rg^, brachium) contain the same letters Re'\, flexio. Since 

 the peruke alphabetically signifies k, G. took it for the suffix k, 

 thou, " thyself." 



253. See 99. Bark being called 2^01, a. asiooTri, like ••y (ki), a. 

 1i* (kiv). r. r\\i (kava), cippus, expresses kb ; hence Rojfi, texere. 

 Comp. Nos. 29, 84, 114, etc. According to G., the nonsense 

 ■comes out, " I embarked." 



254 is the well-known suffix of the first person, I (G.^. 38, 

 43), like the Hebrew I, appended. 



255. The notorious papyrus-stalk Rd.Av., njOJ (gome), signifies 

 ^jn, k?n (PI. i. d'. iv. 36, etc.), and hence asiOAv, like the cor- 

 rupted Hebrew D'' (yam), lebes. 



256. The Egyptians, as well as many other nations, distin- 

 guished the sexes of pigeons by diftei^ent names, calling the male 

 one a-poAv-ni-uje^A (tur-tur). Tin (thor) ; the female, fie>.'A.. For 

 o-pajw-ni, <r'4.0Avni (glompi), is simply the Latin columba, and uj^'^ 

 (Germ. Schall) is the corrupted Se^pA, ^ip (qara), vocare ; liter- 

 ally, columba vociferans, turtur. See G. yE. 70, 309. Poor Ch. 

 and all his followers imagined the dove constantly to signify «, 

 and why? Because the god Aroeris is expressed by a sparrow- 

 hawk {kr) and the pigeon, followed by the mouth. But, alas, 

 the syllable eris is the corrupted ber, as the same name {yjjpioc,, 

 Baal) represented in Yong's Hieroglyphics (PI. 65), establishes. 

 See PI. xxxii. 445. Accordingly our Chst. discovers the new city 

 *'Uat-Ur"; and this city, as he assures us, was set forth, "Pehu of
