A Glossary
Of Hieroglyphs Occurring in This Book, Together With Their Pronunciation and Determinative Value
We divide the Egyptian hieroglyphs, after the manner of Lepsius, into twenty-five classes. In the following list the hieroglyphs are given together with what they were probably meant to represent. The more important pronunciations are added, which, however, can not be used indiscriminately, but are fixed by complements, that is, letters of the alphabet indicating the pronunciation and either prefixed or else suffixed to the hieroglyph. The pronunciation of the later, or Ptolemaic, times is marked *. Determinatives are silent hieroglyphs, determining, in words of the same pronunciation, into what category of objects or ideas these words belong.
Pron. stands for pronunciation. * stands for pronunciation of later times. Det. stands for determinative. The numerals refer to the pages of the book where the hieroglyph occurs.
