Description
For those new to the study of Egyptian hieroglyphs, this dictionary provides a comprehensive guide to the language, with entries in English alphabetical order. It covers a range of topics, including substantives, names of gods, place names, and verbs, as well as more obscure words and spellings.
While it focuses on the core vocabulary, the dictionary omits certain hieroglyphs that are better explored in grammar texts, such as unspoken particles and the number system. The hieroglyphic alphabet is also included, with both traditional Gardiner notation and concise English descriptions.
This dictionary is an essential resource for anyone looking to learn or deepen their understanding of Egyptian hieroglyphic language, and is a valuable addition to any language study collection.
