The following correspondences in ciKam (Egyptian) demonstrates the importance of internal language comparisons for the detection of dialects and dialect forms of vocabulary. Directly below helps to demonstrate the argument (Imhotep 2020) that not only does /x/ correspond to /S/ and /X/, which is commonly known, but that /x/ also corresponds with the labials: i.e., /b/, /p/, /m/, and /w/. We observe:

nxnx "fling/hurl; massacre/butcher" n-x
nm.t “place of slaughter” n-m
nm.tjw “executioner” n-m
np.D “to slaughter” n-p

Ax.t "flame; fire" A-x
Ab.w “brand; branding iron” (brazier deter.) A-b
Am.w "(scorching) heat; flame" A-m

ax.j "to fly" a-x
aX.j "fly away" a-X
ap.j "fly" (verb). a-p

jb "to wish; to suppose" j-b
Ab.w "wish(es); vow" A-b
xr.t "wish" x-r
mr.j “to wish; to love” m-r

ȝḫȝḫ “flourish/blossom, become green” ȝ-ḫ
w.nb “flower; blossom” n-b

ȝḫ.w “sunlight, sunshine” ȝ-ḫ
nw.t “sunrays; light rays” n-w

ȝḫ.t “flame, fire” ȝ-ḫ
s.nb “to burn” n-b
nb.j “to be aflame” n-b

These correspondences lay the foundation for the arguments made in the table below, where Ab is a dialectical variant of mr.
