    The paper discusses the written forms of II.red in Coffin Texts adduced by Wolfgang Schenkel in support of his hypothesis of two morphologically distinct forms of the sḏm.n⸗f. Also examined are the case of ult.n non-II.red, which had only a secondary role in Schenkel's original proposal, and the case of the high-frequency verb wnn, which is special. The conclusion is that none of these written forms supports the hypothesis of two distinct forms of the sḏm.n⸗f, just as none contradicts it. In the course of the argument, various issues of broader interest are touched upon: the representation of verbal morphology in writing, the individual verbs (notably ngigi/ngg "cackle,” originally a N-stem based on an onomatopoietic segment), the morphology of wnn, and aspects of the dynamics of textual variation in Coffin Texts (notably the extraordinarily complex case afforded by CT I 73c-74f; Spell 24

    On System-Internal and Differential Iconicity in Egyptian Hieroglyphic Writing

    Get PDF
    Alors que l’iconicité référentielle est généralement bien reconnue, le présent article met l’accent sur l’importance, complémentaire, des modes d’iconicité intra-systémique dans les écritures complexes, et plus particulièrement les hiéroglyphes égyptiens. Divers cas d’iconicité différentielle sont présentés, illustrant comment la motivation d’un signe peut résider précisément dans les différences avec un ou plusieurs autres signes visuellement apparentés. On propose que, dans certains cas, l’iconicité différentielle contribue même à fonder l’iconicité référentielle.While referential modes of iconicity in signs of writing are well recognized, this paper emphasizes the complementary importance of system-internal modes of iconicity and sign motivation in complex writing systems. Focusing on Egyptian hieroglyphs particularly, instances of differential iconicity are discussed, by which the very differences between pairs or small sets of visual related signs are essential in motivating these. In some cases, it is proposed, differential iconicity affords the foundation for referential modes of iconicity themselves
