Good basic dictionary
Petty has done a good job in collating the commonly received meanings of Egyptian words; and as he says, his book has more entries than Faulkner — or than Gardiner, of course. That said, occasionally he fails to pick up relatively common words.It's a small, thin book (1st photo), achieved by being very summary (2d photo). In that second photo, notice two other things. One is good: he student is helped out with the bizarre standard Egyptological "alphabetical" order by the strip at the top of each page. The other is bad: the book doesn't lie flat, here I use a heavy file card box to keep the left page from flapping shut; that can get irritating.
