> I have out of the library Alan Gardiner's vast 1927 _Egyptian Grammar_.
> Unlike Budge, it seems, there is ample discussion of the complex Egyptian
> verb. Lessons XXI through XXIII cover such things as the verb classes,
> voice, mood, tense, the prothetic, reduplication, bilateral/trilateral
> verbs, compound verbs, denominative verbs, the infinitive (if that's what
> Egyptian has), the infinitive as substitute for a noun clause (which is
> what Teonaht does in spades--including marking objects of the infinitive
> by a kind of genitive...all discovered after I had picked up the Egyptian
> book), the old perfective, etc. etc. etc. I, too, had a fancy for the idea
> of Teonaht borrowings from Egyptian, given the T's interest in Bastet and
> so forth.

> I also learned from this book that Coptic has "adjective-verbs" like "to
> be small," which is what the Teonaht "-ndi" verbs do, probably much less
> complexly.
