Preposition
โ EditโPrepositions are among the most idiosyncratic words of any language. Often it is impossible to translate the prepositions of one language exactly into those of another.โ
Given this observation by a wise Egyptologist it is even more astonishing that we can grasp most Egyptian prepositions just by looking at their alphabetic phonetic values, at least if we know some German and very basic Spanish and French (ร ) :
๐ t to, at, ata
๐ n an (of, belonging to, for), on, naโ (nach, to), in (time), ana ๐๐พ ,ina ๐ธ,๐
๐ r re, ร (french) : at, vers, towards, as for, from, so that, to, until
๐ nษ no negation (also ๐๐ non, not ๐๐ anti- โฒโฒง- , โฒโฒ-)
๐ milk* ๊ฟi โผ wie / like / similak similar misma

โmโ:

im: in, en, ษn, im

mi: mit=com=with
๐
im: gerund prefix โผing (im Tanze โ> dancing)

ยตo: negation at start of sentence
