  • kḥkḥ: I have translated kḥkḥ, ‘to grow old’ (TLA lemma no. 165310), with a positive meaning. In earlier texts, such as P Westcar, it describes a more negative view of aging and decrepitude (Blackman, in: JEA 13, 1927, 187–8). These nuances of meaning were probably carried in Bakenkhons’ use of the word as well. Although the word occurs in a positive frame in the post-Ramessid text ‘A Tale of Woe’, it is determined by Aa2 𓐎
