226 Rev. Epwarp Hincxs on the Number, Names, and Powers 
expletive after it, in the name of the town which the Greeks called Kozros, and 
also in the name of “jasper,” KaSPe, answering to the Hebrew 75w’. The etymo- 
logical connexion between Y and G, which the Egyptians at Thebes did not dis- 
tinguish from K, is well known. 
50. An aze-head (K 4; k 4) was considered by Champollion to be a x, 
being classed by him with Q 1, C 1, and the two syllabic signs related to it, the 
cucupha sceptre and the horse’s leg. Chevalier Bunsen has omitted it from his 
list of phonoglyphs, though it occurs in some common words. He has, however, 
in his list of Egyptian words corresponding to Coptic ones, given one of these 
words as Kerhu, corresponding to the Sahidic Cwpg,; but it appears from 
p. 680, that he regarded the initial in this word as the footstool, a syllabic sign, 
having the mouth for its complement, which he reads ker, but which is, in my 
opinion, certainly wel. The two characters, which Chevalier Bunsen must have 
regarded as identical, are never confounded in any hieroglyphic text; and though 
the hieroglyphic forms are similar, the hierographie ones have no sort of resem- 
blance, as will appear from the hierographic form of the word we/, “ under,” 
given in fig. 180, compared with k 4. This character was used in the first age ; 
the name of a kind of panegyric, WeK, which concludes with it, occurs in the 
inscription on a tomb at Ghizeh ( Burton E. H., Pl. 27). In the papyri it is of fre- 
quent occurrence, its expletive being the eagle. With respect to its value, the above 
Coptic equivalent of KoRH would be consistent with its being either K or C; but 
the transcription IV. 3, seems to prove that it had not the latter value; and this is 
confirmed by the use of this character to represent the second letter of 57219, at Kar- 
nak (Ros. M. R. 133); while in the papyri it is represented by a basin, as in fig. 98. 
51. A chenalopex (SW 1; sw 1) occurs in the names of the chiefs of the 
Khuta, im such a manner as to prove that it was used as an alphabetic character ; 
and, though I consider it to have been originally and properly a syllabic sign, I 
think it stands on the same footing as Nos. 31 and 33; and that it should be ad- 
mitted into the alphabet if they are. The name of one of these chiefs is given, 
fig. 181, which I read XuTASWeR, an Indo-Germanic compound, signifying 
“ Lord of Khuta.”” This name alone I should consider conclusive evidence that 
the Khuta were not the Hittites. The third character is a syllabic sign for TA, 
which is sometimes completed in the fifth manner, as here, and sometimes in the 
third, the eagle being added. The fourth character is the chenalopex, with the
