- Suggested modifications to lesson IV
-
- General changes:
- *Add the particle iw to the beginning of verbal phrases or sentences used throughout
the lesson. This makes them plain statements of fact.
- *Replace the older english words (eg. "thou art", "thou sayest")
with modern equivalents.
-
- section 44: Add iw to the examples, so:
- iw hAb=k wi (you send me)
- iw DAi.n=f sw (He ferried him over).
-
- section 45: add iw to the beginning of the example.
-
- section 46:
- Ex. 1: add initial iw.
- Ex. 2: The use of the pronoun should be noted, but be aware that
the verb forms are the prospective sDm=f, making the sentence a wish, "May you cause that ...".
-
- section 50: add iw to the beginning of the example.
-
- section 52: add iw to the beginning of the examples.
-
- Vocabulary
- In these early chapters, Gardiner does not indicate verbs where
the 3rd consonant is one of the so-called 'weak' consonants (i or w).
- The verb involved is:
- xai (to appear, shine)
- Please correct this in the vocabulary transliteration, and use
the full form in all transliterations.
-
- Exercises:
-
- Section a)
- Put iw at the beginning of examples 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, to make them statements
of fact.
- For ex. 4, delete the second clause beginning with ix.
- In example 7, delete the last clause (DAi=f....)
-
- Section b).
- Ex. 6: Change to: "We stand up ...".
- Ex. 8: Change to: "You go down in peace.."
