Note 337 — DEMOTIC CHARACTERS (continued 5)

Mr Bartlett wrote schek-aipch, “bird’s egg”, and ahano-hraîk, “a duck”, literally, “water bird”, thus showing that hrek in the term “feather” signifies “bird”. M Pinart wrote shiik-immen, “bird’s nest”, and ipχ´`, “egg “. In both, the spellings here differ somewhat from the terms in the list. In the term for “duck” and “feather”, Mr Bartlett substitutes hr for the sch in his spelling of the name for a “bird”.
