Concise Dictionary of Middle Egyptian

This concise dictionary of 'Middle Egyptian' - that phase of the Ancient Egyptian language which had the widest general application - contains 5400 carefully selected words most likely to be encountered by students and scholars in the course of their regular work on Egyptian texts. Each entry gives the most common hieroglyphic form of the word, accompanied by its transliteration, translation, references to texts where it occurs, its less usual hieroglyphic variants, and phrases in which it is used. First published in 1962 and incorporating addenda from 1966, this Concise Dictionary has become the standard work of reference and is now in its tenth printing.

Acest dictionar concis al „egipteanului mijlociu” - acea faza a limbii egiptene antice care avea cea mai larga aplicatie generala - contine 5400 de cuvinte atent selectionate, cel mai probabil intalnite de studenti si carturari in timpul lucrarilor lor obisnuite pe texte egiptene. Fiecare intrare ofera cea mai comuna forma hieroglifica a cuvantului, insotita de transliterare, traducere, referinte la texte in care apare, variantele sale mai putin obisnuite hieroglife si expresii in care este folosit.
