Mdw Ntchr words and phrases

[Simba Nerevu]

From time to time (hopefully weekly) I'll post a word or phrase from the ancient Kmt.

I'll begin with "Pr Ankh" (pronounced per ankh).

Pr Ankh (or Per Ankh) means "house of life". Schools in Kmt were called Pr Ankh. What does this it imply to call one's places of learning/instruction "houses of life"?

[Simba Nerevu]

Hefa/hefaw (heh-fah/heh-fah-oo)-enemy/enemies

[Simba Nerevu]

Za.j (zah-ee) - my son
Zat.j (zaht-ee) - my daughter

The ".j" represents the possessive pronoun. ".j" is the first person singular and can also be "I, me or my".

So Za or Zat alone would be "son" or "daughter". We could also say Za.n (zah-en) or Zat.n (zaht-en) "our son" or "our daughter".

[Simba Nerevu]

Aam (ah-ahm) - the egyptologists (crackas) translate this as "asiatic" (person). It may be safe to assume that it refers to non-Afrikans, particular eruasians given the historical/geographical context.

Was kem - Black (Afrikan) Power
