The Egyptian Book of the dead

Note 2 — Chapter CXXXVI · A.

P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation

The royal sarcophagus 32 of the British Museum gives the important variant = , whence it follows that is phonetically = . The latter sign has only two known values āḥā, and āba. That the latter is the true equivalent of is certain, in consequence of the complementary vowels , which commonly accompany that sign, whether in the word signifying battle, or in the name of 273a place. It is impossible that a should be the right reading, and no one has a right to convert into a simple .
