Abstract

There are several ways which are used to determine words, in ancient Egypt; the
determinatives and the determiners (Demonstrative determiners/ demonstrative pronouns)
are the most common ways, also the adjectives (and adjective’s equivalents), genitives
(Direct and indirect), apposition, and finally the sentences (Verbal, non-verbal). All these ways
appeared in ancient Egyptian texts to determine a certain word.
