Part One discusses phonology, working backward from the vowels and consonants of Coptic to those that can be deduced for earlier stages of the language. Part Two is devoted to grammar, including both basic components such as nouns and the complex history of the verbal system. The book thus provides both a synchronic description of the five major historical stages of ancient Egyptian and a diachronic analysis of their development and relationship.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 155mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 570gAuthor: James P.
