FIND-A-GLYPH

Find the literal words of the lyrics to the “Witness Ancient Gebts” song and music video in hieroglyphs!

A. Locate each of the hieroglyphic words below in “An Egyptian Hieroglyphic

Dictionary” by Wallis Budge B. Write the page number under each hieroglyphic word where you found the

hieroglyph C. Although you might already have located a word in prior verses, you might learn

something interesting or useful by searching for the repeat of a word all over again

D. Most words cannot be searched by the meaning alone, since Egyptologists are often very slightly off on their meaning

FIND-THE-LANGUAGES

Find whether the language of the words to the lyrics of the “Witness Ancient Gebts” song and music video can be found

in Tigrigna, Amarigna, or both languages!

Although the song is sung in Tigrigna, like the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic language, there are also words in common to both Amarigna and Tigrigna.

A. Locate each of the Amarigna and/or Tigrigna words below on the

AmharicDictionary.com and Memhr.org websites B. Write down above each word (T) for Tigrigna and (A) for Amarigna for

each word you find C. If you find the word in both languages, write (A/T)

By searching the meanings of the words, you will notice slight variations for the spellings of each word between Amarigna and Tigrigna. For example,

* Tigrigna might have an H in the word where Amharic does not * The Tigrigna TS’ (ጸ) might be might be CH’ (ጨ) or T’ (ጠ) in Amarigna

* Although each fidel consonant has an associated vowel sound, there might also be extra vowels in Tigrigna words between fidel consonants, where Amarigna normally does not have them

* Tigrigna often uses a different H than Amarigna, where a Tigrigna word might use the (ሐ) H Amarigna will almost always use the (ሀ) H

* Memhr.org and "An Egyptian Hieroglyphic Dictionary" both use British English. S, for example, searching for "color" will give a negative result, so instead, use the British spelling (ou) variant, "colour"
