Comments

  • - The word pꜣ.w refers to the definite article that was spreading in the spoken and non-literary written language of the time (cf. the Hekanakht letters), but apparently it was not considered "proper" speaking (speaking "according to the art of officials" meaning probably as a good official should).
    - Laut Allen kann pꜣ mit dem Verb pꜣu̯: "in der Vergangenheit getan haben" zusammenhängen: J.P. Allen, in: D.P. Silverman, W.K. Simpson, J. Wegner (Hg.), Archaism and Innovation, New Haven and Philadelphia 2009, 263-269.
