hand-drill for hollowing out stone vessels,
weighted and steadied by two stones at the top
(Borchardt, A. Z., 1897, 107). The Egyptians
seem to have considered this as a symbol of
mechanical skill, and its word-sign value is lira

" bore," " pierce," is probably sometimes spelt
with * j , and fig. 384 represents, perhaps, some
similar instrument for the same purpose, such
as a bow-drill; in Pyr. P., 174, a string crosses
the stock. The circular object below may be
intended to represent the hole drilled.

fig. 379, Pth., xxxiii. 6, a fine example,
indicating the man called Nefer-renpet. The
loop which is sometimes found at the top of this
sign in the E.R.A. volume is erroneous. The
knife (?) is doubtful. The reading sms, rather
than ss, is confirmed by two good instances in
Daressy, Ree. de Trav., xiv. 21 ; quoted by
Piehl, who considers the other examples in-
sufficient to establish the reading; as being
possibly due to error. Capart, A. Z., 1898,
p. 125, has a note on this sign, but his argument
requires more support. In N.K. the sign is
used in curious combinations, which have pro-
bably little pictorial meaning.
