Comments

  • wḏ.yw: the ending of the verb is awkward, but wḏi̯ is a verb that is indicative of a very late phase of Middle Egyptian, so maybe this is not such a problem. My reading is based on wḏjjw: 'wandering cattle' which is attested the Israel stela and elsewhere (Wb. I, 398.14; Sinuhe B118 reads ḥww, not wḏjjw: see Koch 1990: 48a). This is appropriate to the context. Another word, wḏ, apparently also describes a sort of cow in a Dynasty 19 list (see DZA 22.704.080 ff). (see: R. Enmarch, forthcoming, A World Upturned: The Ancient Egyptian Dialogue of Ipuwer and the Lord of All. To appear in the British Academy Postdoctoral Monograph Series).

(A future release of the TLA web app will also indicate the scope of authors’ comments or annotations, i.e., which parts of the sentence a comment/annotation refers to. For the development plan, see here.)
