Egyptian

[edit]

Etymology 1

[edit]

Possibly cognate with Proto-Semitic *ʕalay-; compare Arabic عَلَى (ʕalā, on, over), Hebrew עַל (ʿal, on), Aramaic עַל (ʿal, on). If so, perhaps from a form such as Proto-Afroasiatic *x̣al.[1] However, some authors consider such a correspondence irregular.[2]

Usage notes
[edit]

Conjunction is usually expressed by directly juxtaposing two nouns, but occasionally ḥnꜥ or ḥr are used to link the nouns instead. The latter (ḥr) may represent a somewhat closer coordination than the former (ḥnꜥ).

In Late Egyptian texts, this preposition is often omitted where expected or found erroneously written where unneeded.

Etymology 2

[edit]

According to Loprieno, formed from a stem ḥaru- + the Proto-Afroasiatic nominative case marker *-u; in Egyptian, Proto-Afroasiatic case markers were generally lost, but *-u became a glide -w instead when the stem ended in a vowel.[1] The stem is probably related either to the preposition ḥr (above), with the theonym thus meaning ‘the One Above’, or to the verb ḥrj (to be distant), with the theonym meaning ‘the Distant One’, or to both.
