I've heard modern Egyptians pronounce the "K" and it has a different sound. It sounds more like a really hard "H" than a "K". A more accurate spelling of Kam might be Kham. This is probably how the ancient Egyptians pronounced it. In other words, Ham is Kam, which would make Ham an Egyptian word.[/QUOTE] Wally follows up: [QUOTE]: Absolutely -- This is an excellent and valuable lesson on the Mdu Ntr![/QUOTE] That is what I thought; that perhaps, 'ham' is nothing more than a development of what Kem-au pointed out earlier, in terms of how Kem or "Kham" is actually pronounced by Egyptians, with some emphasis to the sound of "h". This may account for the lack of the word, as it is spelt in the form 'ham', in Kemetic texts. [This message has been edited by Super car (edited 05 May 2005).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
