Hi;

Has anyone yet posed a specific identification for the kyphi ingredient, 
pqr?  The only homonym I can find suggests a possible connection with 
Abydos. 

Sincerely,

Bob

Hi Robert:

     For what it's worth, Budge's Dictionary, page 252, lists "pqr" as 1) a
type of tree, and 2) sesame seed or poppy seed.  How reliable Budge's
definitions are I couldn't venture to guess.

     Uses of "pqr" in texts are referenced at
http://aaew.bbaw.de/tla/servlet/GetWcnDetails?u=guest&f=0&l=0&wn=62720&db=0
Perhaps the context of these references may provide some further clue.  Good
luck.

I think it refers to a house, temple or palace.

Regars,

Ron.

The latter (Peqer = Umm el Qaab) is surely chance.
I presume the word you are looking for is pqrw (written in
several ways), which according to Hannig would be a plant,
hypothetically *Kaelberkropf, Chaerophyllum spec., used in
oils or salves. I think the English name is chervil.

Hi;

I have read some unreferenced secondary and popular descriptions of a 
"senet house" as a kind of tavern.  But, I have been unable to find a 
documented term for such a thing in original sources.  Can anyone help 
me separate the facts from fancy on this phrase? 

Best wishes,

Bob
