[QUOTE]Originally posted by AncientGebts: [QB] Well, this comes back to the KM name. There were maybe a few possible matches to KM, but I came to the conclusion that only QN was likely. All these explanations are so people could understand my process at arriving at QN (qin/"honest"). To get to a -t plural ending, we need a noun.... qnE'na (ቅንዕና) simplicity, virtue, integrity, sincerity, frankness, honesty (n.) (Tigrigna Here is a likely match from "An Egyptian Hieroglyphic Dictionary"... [IMG]http://files.ancientgebts.org/Kammau_hieroglyph.png[/IMG] The -awi suffix is Amarigna, meaning people of. For example, Gebts ("Egypt") in Amarigna becomes the people of Egypt, Gebtsawi. As for how the owl can be an N, M/N pronunciations are obviously related. But the owl is not really for the M pronunciation, even it can be used for M... [list] [*]gungwa (ጉንጓ) owl (n.) (Tigrigna) [/list] http://memhr.org/dic/index.php?a=srch&d=3&id_srch=7a9b9496f29cf74c586b9f069adb3acd&il=en&p=1 So because the owl primarily represents the N pronunciation, it can be used for QNN (KMM), Qnena/"honesty." The form Qenenat with a -t ending would essentially be "the honest ones." [/QB][/QUOTE]
