A BOOK OF THE BEGINNINGS

The following list of words, extant in the British Isles, compared with Egyptian words—itself a work of years—needs but brief introduction. The title is not meant to be taken literally; it is adopted simply for the sake of classifying the words. The chief authorities for the Egyptian are the Worterbuch of Brugsch-Bey[1], the Egyptian Dictionary of Dr. Samuel Birch[2], and the Vocabulaire Hieroglyphique of M. Paul Pierret[3]. In these the references to the texts are given for each word.

On the English side the Provincial Dictionary of Thomas Wright[4] stands first, but numberless volumes have been ransacked for the result. Celtic, Cymraig, or Gaelic have not been especially drawn upon.

It may be stated generally, that the hieroglyphics contain no phonetic C, D, E, G, J, O, Q, V, W, X, Y, or Z, but that certain of these letters are introduced as equivalents by later Egyptologists. One sign is rendered by L as well as by R.

Paralleled as the words are, they themselves sufficiently explain the laws of permutation or interchange of the equivalent letters.
