Now that everyone here has access to Budge's dictionary and erman's grammar and judging from the confusion expressed here over such plain terms expressing the Kememou's world view, it's high time for a little refresher course.
Kame Niut: The Black World
Rome (Rome na n Rome) : Egyptians, literally - Men, We Men above Men...
Nahasu: Sudanese, Supplicants, Those who bow...
A classic example of African *chauvinism, of which we can see everywhere today in contemporary Africa...
Ex: Sabon Gari
A Sabon Gari (strangers' quarters or literally new town in the Hausa language) is a segregated section of Hausa-Fulani cities and towns in Northern Nigeria and south central Niger where the residents are not Hausa-Fulani. Africans, clearly have no monopoly on this particular form of human behavior; the only difference is that when it takes place in Africa, or in Asia, it is labeled 'tribalism' whereas when it happens in Europe it is simply 'Chauvinism.' ------------------------- Terosh Niut: The Red World
Namou Sho: Namou (nomads, travelers, wanderers)/Sho (the sands, the deserts)
This appellation was applied, at an indeterminate period, exclusively to Asiatic nomads, and as Champollion-Figeac observed, was on one occasion represented as an Arab, and on another as a Jew, another as a Syrian, etc....
Tamhou: Red ones; Pale Red ones < color of an animals' anus, ...
This is the group, blond-haired and blue eyed, to which Champollion-Figeac immediately identified as being his ancestors and to which he was slightly embarrassed by their lowly status during antiquity, a circumstance which has been drastically altered; which to the chagrin of racists, proves that there is no such creature as an "innately superior race"...
Well y'all, y'all have the materials, so let's break them out and study these words for yourselves, grasp them, so that it all becomes clear... ------------------------- *Chauvinism: fanatical patriotism; extreme and unreasoning partisanship on behalf of a group to which one belongs, especially when the partisanship includes malice and hatred towards a rival group.

There will be some of you who may not know exactly how to go about this research, here's a suggestion:
Go to the back of vol2 and find:
Index of English Words
In the index of these English words ; following the English word are the page numbers where the Egyptian words having this meaning are located... 799a means look in left column of page; 799b means look in right column of page... so you want to look up:
black -K- -Q-
Sudani man -N-
negro/Negro land -N-
supplicate, pray -N-
town, village, community... -N-
Man, Men -R-
nomads, travelers -N-
sand -Sh-
red/red ones/reddish... -T-
An Example:
Black - 243b, 787b, 789a, dead black, 389a; shining black, 787b; strong black (i.e., jet black), blacken, 704b; - also - Black-Face, blackness, 798a, Blacks of Sudan, 344a

--wouldn't the expression Terosh Niut be ideologically incongruous for an Egyptian to make? Wouldn't the correct expression be Terosh Khastiu?
--new word khastiu - foreign
The conventional Egyptian way was usually to simply write "...heki Kame Terosh" - "I rule (the) Black (nations) (and the) Red (foreign nations)...i.e., "I rule the world!"
