Talk:psḏt pḏt

pḏwt?

Hey, I have a doubt that the title of this article "psḏt pḏt" maybe "psḏt pḏwt". It is because the plural form of feminine noun "pḏt" will be "pḏwt"

Also, the Nebty name of w:Seti II has the form of "pḏwt" Is there anyone who can verify my opinion? Thank you.--Sethemhat (talk) 11:38, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

@Sethemhat: In Old Egyptian, a noun modified by a numeral between 3 and 10 was originally treated as plural. But by Middle Egyptian times, it’s more common to find the noun in the singular, although the plural is still sometimes used. Finally, in Late Egyptian, a noun modified by a numeral is always grammatically singular. This is an instance of grammar changing over time. — Vorziblix (talk · contribs) 13:38, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

@Vorziblix: Thank you! I totally didn't know that. I suggest that you should write on the explanation you gave me in this article with a stable source, because some may guess like me.

My Egyptian grammatical book written in Japanese doesn't have such an explanation. Maybe I should buy a more detailed book such as J.P.Allen... It is a little bit expensive for me :|

Thank you for your help.--Sethemhat (talk) 14:10, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
