Content
Middle Egyptian is the classic language of pharaonic Egypt as used in the first half of the 2nd millenium, from the Middle Kingdom to the beginnings of the New Kingdom.
After an examination of how demonstratives and personal pronouns work, the course studies the different types of non-verbal clauses (for which a verb "to be" must be introduced in English). Finally, he devotes himself to verbs, of which he examines the classification, forms and functions of the infinitive, the imperative and the participles (perfective, imperfective and prospective).
