clearly distinguished from Hilliiil, and from STO
= -sy/'/(?), L., D., ii. 7c. The sign may repre-
sent a dry tank or pool excavated with sloping
sides, while EMU is the same full of water. Cf.
the sign f=^ grg in Methen, L., I)., ii. 6, 7,
which may represent a ditch in course of ex-
cavation by means of a mattock. In Methen,
L., D., ii. 3, it seems several times to be word-
sign for the measure of area called st't, dpovpo,
of 100 cubits square (cf. P.S.B.A., xiv. 412).
In the estate names from Methen, E3, ^, IH^,
<=>, all occur, but the associated consonants
arc not merely phonetic complements.

A pyramid conventionally represented,
acutely pointed, with a level base or platform ;
fig. 226, AIM., dividing lines above base and
below apex; fig. 246, Pth., xxxiii., col. G,
apex divided off by a line. The lines no doubt
indicate casings of different colours, as in the
example from AIM., fig. 400 (coloured). The
basal band is coloured to imitate granite, while
in the example from Ptahhetep the apex appears
to show traces of yellow. Det. of " pyramid,"
the Egyptian name of which was mr.

another without the ? but with the eyes.
