{155}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.
