Key to Exercise 5 from Allen

• 1 a

  Note: In English, "offspring" can have both singular and plural meaning.

• 1 g

  Note: For the sake of consistency with the vocabulary (p. 467) and the key, read spAt instead of DAtt.

• 2 d

  Note: The reversal of the direction of writing in the key is to be ignored.

• 2 q

  Note: The reversal of the direction of writing in the key is to be ignored. An alternative solution with mwwt.T, "your (2fs) mothers", obtained by taking the exercise literally, makes little sense.

• 3 f

  Note: A more appropriate solution than that in the key is pA aA.

• 4 b

  Note: In the key, insert N35 in the hieroglyphic writing, so that the corresponding transliteration changes to nAy.sn n AHwt.
