Many lemma entries also provide information on relations to other lemmata. Types of such relations are:
- Reference relation (“substituted by / referred to from”): Revoked, obsolete, or referencing lemmata, i.e., those with the editorial status “inactive,” link to their respective substitute (and vice versa).
- Hierarchical relation (“superordinate / referring by”):
- In accordance with the widely accepted grammatical analysis that adjectives and corresponding verbal lemmata are productively related, adjectives usually provide links to the respective (superordinate) verbal lemma (and vice versa).
- Collocational lemmata entries such as jri̯ (sḫr.w) ‘to take care’ link to their superordinate kernel lemma (jri̯ ‘to make’). Likewise entries that represent contextually especially noteworthy semantics such as jri̯ (plus descendant name) ‘to engender’ link to their superordinate lemma (jri̯ ‘to make’).
- Diachronic relation (“successor / predecessor”): Historically related entries in the hieroglyphic/hieratic lemma list and the Demotic lemma list are interlinked as successors or predecessors, respectively. (still in progress.)
- Part/whole relation (“parts / part of”): Multi-word lemmata, i.e., lemma that consist of two or more words, provide links to the lemma entries for their respective parts (and vice versa). For example, the compound ḥw.t-nṯr “temple” refers to the two separate lemmata ḥw.t “mansion” and nṯr “god” (and vice versa). (still in progress.)
- Root relation (“root / root of”): Entries for basic, i.e., single-word lemmata provide references to their consonantal root (and vice versa).
For some of the relations, it is possible to see the attestations of the main lemma together with the attestations of the hierarchically linked lemmata (recursively).

For arguments for a reading of 𓁶 as dp (i.e., Schenkel system ṭp), not tp, in Earlier and Late Egyptian, see Daniel A. Werning. 2004. The Sound Values of the Signs Gardiner D1 (Head) and T8 (Dagger). in: Lingua Aegyptia 12, pp. 183–203. DOI: http://doi.org/10.11588/propylaeumdok.00003788.
Building on this research, arguments may point to an earlier, (Pre-?)Old Egyptian development ḏp > dp (Schenkel č̣p > ṭp); see Carsten Peust. 2006. Nochmals zur Lesung der Kopf-Hieroglyphe. Göttinger Miszellen 208, pp.7–8. DOI: http://doi.org/10.11588/propylaeumdok.00002287.
S.D. Schweitzer argued for the traditional tp in: Simon D. Schweitzer. 2011. Zum Lautwert einiger Hieroglyphen. Zeitschrift für Ägyptische Sprache und Altertumskunde 138, pp. 132–149.
For pragmatic reasons, the TLA currently keeps the traditional transliteration tp.
