I posted this piece from your link in another discussion which was "entirely" deleted, rather than just deleting irrelevant or just the bad posts therein, with the purpose of noting the feminine and musculine grammar orientation of the Kemetic language, and how this applied to the the term Km [musculine singular] and Km.t [feminine singular], by the addition of the "t". This can be observed in the list of names above, particularly when one takes those terms that reappear almost [but obviously not quite] intact in their male and female appellation.

^Good one Wally, although I have already seen this list from your website. And even though I remember that this was posted several times before in this forum, since there is no searh engine, hey!
To Mystery Solver, may I ask which discussion site the list got deleted from, and also what the reason you think it as deleted?

...because as usual, when a single discussant gets backed into the corner, forcing that discussant to resort to throwing juvenile ad homimen around at other discussants, the discussion takes a whole another twist when the other discussants, naturally out of disgust, start to react in an equally juvenile manner to this disruption. A single discussant is therefore allowed to ruin an entire legitimate discourse, which would have otherwise been worth keeping for some revealing and substantive posts, as was the case with the French-to-English translations of Diop's piece, making a passing reference but supporting the grammatical structure mentioned in my last post herein. Rather than just delete the insubstantial and intellectually devoid posts, and then close the thread if necessary to end potential further disruption, the entire topic is simply 'deleted'.

I remember reading that English "Phineas" is derived from Egyptian Panahasi, meaning "the Nahasi". I'm curious about how this and how it evolved to be used to designate "non-Nahasiw" and what was its real meaning at the time. Any idea about it?
