Klassisch-ägyptische Texte in späthieratischem Gewande

Abstract

Summary After a global discussion about the sense of the term ‘Égyptien de tradition’, a number of special features of classical Egyptian texts written in Late Hieratic are presented. It is demonstrated that often an orthographical innovation overlays the fundamentally unchanged grammatical structure. A special focus is put on particles, where e. g. it is demonstrated that a writing is likely to be a strange orthography for the particle . In the verb, gemination is largely abandoned, and the distinction between and is no longer fully functional.
