The [b]literal[/b] translation of Nahasu is Sudanese, and the way in which at some occasions it is written to include the ideogram "Su" indicates that the Sudanese were peoples who lived in the south. Nahasu literally does not mean south or southerner! [b]south, southerner[/b] These are relative terms; if you lived in Chicago, then even someone living in Gary, Indiana a few miles away is south of you and therefore a southerner to you - the same would be true of someone living in Tupelo, Mississippi - or in Mexico City, Mexico and you understand that Mexico is not politically a part of the USA. By the same token; if you lived in the Egyptian marshlands of the north, those who lived in middle or Upper Egypt were to the south of you, and therefore southerners (resu). - the same would be true of the Wawat or the Yam folks and you understand that the Wawat or the Yam were not a part of Kême, sometimes vassal states perhaps, but that was all... and you also understand that the determinative "Nu.t" was one that also contained a 'progression' of meaning: Nu/Niu - village, town, community/metropolis, nation, nations --that the Wawat were members of the Black nation[b]s[/b], but NOT members of the Black nation... [b]The literal translation of "Nahasu", in English, is "Sudanese" - a conglomeration of peoples who were non-Egyptian nationals; foreign Blacks who lived to the south of Kême's borders.[/b] ...Understand???
