โ€œPrepositions 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“ˆ– n an (of, belonging to, for), on, naโ€™ (nach, to), in (time), ana ๐’€€๐’ˆพ ,ina ๐’€ธ,๐“ˆ–
๐“‚‹ r re, ร  (french) : at, vers, towards, as for, from, so that, to, until
๐“‚œ nษ™ no negation (also ๐“‚œ๐“ˆ– non, not ๐“‚œ๐“ anti- โฒโฒง- , โฒโฒ‘-)
๐“‡ milk* ๊Ÿฟi โˆผ wie / like / similak similar misma
๐“…“ โ€˜mโ€™:
๐“…“ im: in, en, ษ˜n, im
๐“…“ mi: mit=com=with
๐“…“ im: gerund prefix โˆผing (im Tanze โ€”> dancing)
๐“…“ ยตo: negation at start of sentence
๐“…“ mano ๐“‚œ negation (keltic/gaelic) Schlitten shitem ๐“๐“ƒ๐“…“ ฯฃโฒงโฒ‰โฒ™ donโ€™t โ€ฆ
๐“…“๐“…“ โ‡จ ๐“…” โ€˜mnโ€™: among (๐“…“๐“…“๐“‚ etc variants giving the โ€˜oโ€™)

We postulate either an ambiguity* or trisonant reading of โ€˜๐“…“โ€™ โœดAmber
1.) M
2.) Pโ€™R ยซbirdยป

The second reading covers nicely the European prepositional megacluster of
๐“…“๐“…จ โœดฦฅโ€™r: per, par, para, peri, prรค, pro, for, fรผr, รผber, hyper, super, over, pre, prรค, vor, fore, ๐“…“๐“‚ froโ€™ from โ‰  ๐“…–

Which itself connects with the semitic mega cluster C-V-R (meaning cover โ€ฆ)
