[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mystery Solver: [QB] [b]COTONOU_BY_NIGHT posts[/b]: [i]For starters, here is what the Hannig Handwörterbuch says about '3m: -'3m Asiatic (Inhabitant of the Eastern Desert) Semite, Canaanite; -'3m Syrian slave -'3m([b]y-n-sk3[/b]):keeper of the oxen waggon -'3m([b]w nw Hrjw-S'[/b]) Asiatic nomads -'3m([b]w nw rTnw[/b]) Asiatics from Retjenu[/i] ^^Alright, that [i]is[/i] something to work with "for starters". Note that I've highlighted certain Mdu Ntr terms that your Handworterbuch citation provides, because this at least provides an indication of a certain level of *distinction* within the '3m' or 'Aamu' appellative by the Kemetou. Several other points about this Handworterbuch citation... "Asiatic": However, note that your citation also repeats the term "Asiatic", something that wasn't in the vocabulary of the Kemetou, and hence another casual translation imo, pending elaboration to the contrary. "Syrian": The same could be said about "Syrian". What is this supposed to mean, from a Kemetic standpoint? Did Kemetic refer to the term "Syrian" or were these people specifically called something else? What indication are we given that this '3m' or that '3m' entity is equal to "Syrian"? "-'3m": What gives us any indication of what differentiates "-3m", which according to the citation means "Asiatic", "Semite" or "Canaanite", from "-3m" as a "Syrian slave"? "'3m([b]y-n-sk3[/b]):keeper of the oxen waggon": Did this refer to certain people from a certain polity(s), or just about anyone who fit the description? "'3m([b]w nw Hrjw-S'[/b]) Asiatic nomads": Nomads from where? "-'3m([b]w nw rTnw[/b]) Asiatics from Retjenu": Of the list provided, this seems to be the most specific of the bunch, as far as translation goes. Still, is Retjenu simply a geography somewhere [and if so, where?] or a specific polity? Having said that, good start by Cotonou. [/QB][/QUOTE]
