[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] The word classifying non-Egyptians is [i]hh3s.t.yw[/i]. Unlike [i]nhhsw[/i], which is applicable only to those living upriver, [i]hh3styw[/i] is the rough equivalent of barbarian, i.e., outlander. [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [b]...and this was a name of a 13th Dynasty Pharaoh [/b] [IMG]http://9jnptg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pvsENc_9oGSsPQo1hlEhIYInzEpJViaFRctRY_FDQNVX1cv3oN1EVi1x9OQkZPepW_z6eWg2iK_0CprySdEO8kx3K-fLqhyQM/Nahas_4.bmp[/IMG] Note that his Nsu Biti title contains the determinative for "Barbarian" - his SaRe title merely lists him as "Nahasi" - which I interpret as [b]"The Barbarian"[/b] - a synonym in Mtau Ntr for "Peasant, supplicant, worthless ..." [/QUOTE]Furthermore, it is simplistic to take "Nehesw" as "stranger", for if that were the case, there would be no need for a determinative/ideogram suggestive of "foreigner" in say, the first cartouche. That determinative is there, precisely to modify the meaning of the noun in question. And like I said some time ago, one of the reasons for posting a link to the older discussion, "Nehesw" seemed particularly reserved for groups from beyond Kemet's southern border; it wasn't applied to those in their east, north or west, as far as I recall. Thus Nehesw has got to be more than a synonym for "stranger", or its Greek equivalent of "barbarian" which is not reserved for any one group or territory, as the former appears to be. As for the equation of the term with "worthlessness", well, a question had already been posed on that, awaiting a grown-up answer that is a 'sequitur'... [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
