Also, perhaps this is the wrong thread but i chuckle wondering what Budge may have pondered considering that the word "Km" = "to behave correctly" when written with only the glyphs for "black" plus the determinative of a man sitting upright. It's written as follows: "Km" + the glyph of a man kneeling with his hand up near his face as if he could be thinking, speaking or eating.

It is a significant example of the ideology of the use of the word "black" in the Ṁṫau Ñter
like the word kem ti - Black statue which was used to refer to a sacred image, we have also


--and --



which Budge doesn't define here, but which Whatbox subsequently found elsewhere -
remember qem is actually kem...



And then we have the 'Reeds'



Which gives us the Nile Papyrus...



It gives, and again much thanks to Whatbox for this contribution, further evidence of the use of "Black" as a word to describe all that is god-like or good, and useful...
