[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] It'd be nice to see the primary text to know just what the exact spelling is, what glyphs surround the word, and what if any illustration goes with the text. Lacking that, the variant I find for nebet which most likely is used to describe the Nehesi means twisted or braided, a hairstyle seen in many an image of Nehesi. [i]Nebd[/i] appears in the name of a particular Nehesi people known as [i]Nebdu-qed[/i] and is the word on the Tombos Stele of Thutmose I erected near the third cataract and referenced in the opening post. "Nebet" does not distinguish hair texture implied by the "curly" translation. [i]Mes[/i] means a hair curl. [i]Neb[URL=http://www.]t[/URL]/nebd[/i] applies to how the hair is arranged. Interestingly enough, one meaning of [i]wawat[/i] is hair. [/QB][/QUOTE]
