Cc: akh@amduat.com

All:
I am in need of the English translational equivalent for the word:

* Pdw-š *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FERRYMAN AND THE DECEASED KING'S ASCENSION, UTTERANCES 300-311.

Utterance 300.

45a. To say: O Hrti of Ns?.t, ferryman of the 'IKh.t-boat, made by
Khnum,

445b. bring this (boat) to N. N. is Seker of R-St3.w.

*445c. N. is on the way to the place of Seker, chief of Pdw-š.*

(as per Samuel Mercer's Pyramid Texts translation)

Thanks in advance!

pD with a bow determinative usually means, "foreigner".

This utterance appears only in Unis, as far as I can tell. 
Allen translates:  "Unis is off to where Sokar, lord of Spread Lake, is."
Sethe numbers this line 557c
Here is a JSesh MdC: 

i-w-<-w:n-i-s->-i-r-b-w-Xr:r-z:k:r-W18:t-p-D&T9-w-S:1-N25

Christophe Thiers has an entry In the Bulletin de l'Institut français 
d'archéologie orientale Vol.97 (1997),  on pDw-S. His contribution seems to 
identify the location of pDw-S in the Ptolemaic Period. Unfortunately, that 
won't help with the exact meaning. Faulkner's dictionary has a range of 
meanings for pD- many of which could be applied to the context - possibly to 
include 'distant' and 'smooth'.

Subject: AEL Jsesh version 2.4.16

Hello all,

I have just uploaded version 2.4.16 of my free hieroglyphic editor, JSesh.
See http://jsesh.qenherkhopeshef.org/download to get it.

What's new ?

This release mainly adds new signs to JSesh

    * complete "C", "G", and "H" families: all the gods and birds you
      wanted, and more.
    * a few signs have been fixed when they contained errors.
    * the data on the "C" family has been completely typed, so that you
      can see what the palette can do. Find a god sign using one of his
      attributes !
    * An experimental window executable installer is provided, for
      people with windows Vista (it also works on XP)
    * A bug fix with Mac OS X Leopard, which made JSesh very slow on
      this system, has been made. Please tell me if it works, as I run
      Tiger.

Best regards,

S. Rosmorduc
