 Leemans in Horap. p. 151, and in particular Lauth, Sitzungsber. Bayer. 

 Akad., 1876, p. 78 ; the hawk enters as a phonetic or alphabetic element 

 into the hieroglyphic spelling of dai' or da, and in the second place 

 becomes associated with the symbolic meaning of the word. I suspect 

 that 0(u'/3uKo? is closely allied, especially as a bird like a pelican is 

 figured instead of a hawk in an alternative spelling of the syllable du. 

 The Egyptian representation of the Soul as a Hawk is also mentioned 

 by Cha.evemon,\f/vxrj-tfKios-0e6s = iejni^; it, and the Harpy-figures which 

 represent the disembodied soul are interesting in connexion with 

 Plat. Phaedr. p. 246 ; cf. Jomard, Descr. de I'Eg. Antiq. vol. ii. pp. 366, 

 381, Bunsen, Egypt's Place in History, v. 135, R. Brown, jun., Dionys.
