Description

Etymological Dictionary of Egyptian, vol. 3: m-. By GABOR TAKACS. Leiden: BRILL, 2008. Pp. xxxii + 1010. $321. There is no doubt that ancient Egyptian, by far the longest attested of all the world's languages, is related to other languages in Northeast Africa and West Asia. Together, this group of languages is called Afroasiatic. The evidence consists for the most part of Egyptian words that are etymologically related to words in neighboring languages. No one has ever disputed this fact. The need is for a record that documents as precisely as possible the extent of this relationship. The present work is an attempt to produce such a record by collecting what most everyone else has said on the subject since the late nineteenth century and by adding many new proposals. The bibliography occupies no less than 124 pages (pp. 887-1010).
