About the source

Title: Egyptian Grammar: Being an Introduction to the Study of Hieroglyphs. Third Revised Edition
Type: Book
Year: 1957
Author: Alan Henderson Gardiner
Language: Egyptian (Ancient), English
Gardiner's Egyptian Grammar, though outdated, is still relevant and useful for students of the Egyptian language. (For example, the book does not mention the second tense.). In particular, his list of signs in the appendix is still widely used as of September, 2022. The entire grammar contains thirty-three lessons, each with a different number of sections. Gardiner is considered one of the best Egyptologists of all time. (Source: OMNIKA)
