Note 48 — 1. THE EGYPTIANS.
Reading edition
“The phrase a shepherd fed his flock, is thus rendered in that language:—amiksa iksa thikhsi. These words, moreover, constitute a beautiful illustration of the genius of the language. In amiksa we have the formative particle am; and in thikhsi there is the feminine prefix th, a peculiarity alike of the Berber and the Coptic. The prefixes and suffixes t, th, are Berber indications throughout the whole extent of north Africa.” Vide also Hornemann, Voyage, Vocab. p. 431.
