Egyptian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Apparently from ḫr(w) (quotative particle) + .fj (third-person singular suffix pronoun). The significance of the apparently superfluous suffix pronoun is not clear.
Pronunciation
[edit]- (modern Egyptological) IPA(key): /xɛruːʔfi/
- Conventional anglicization: kheru.fi
Particle
[edit]
|
quotative
- (with following dependent pronoun, noun, or both, indicating the speaker) marks a non-future direct quotation; says, said
Usage notes
[edit]Like the other quotatives kꜣ, jn, and ḫr, this word either follows the entire quotation that it marks or is inserted near its start (but never at its start).
