Pronunciation Guide

Language Features
Kemetic language is "gender specific", a trait you may recognize from other languages such as French. Nouns referring to women (and any adjectives affecting the noun) frequently end in "-t", a sound that designates the feminine. In later stages of Kemetic, notably Late Egyptian, Demotic and Coptic, the "feminine t" may be written, but may not be pronounced. There is a tricky bit, too - not all words that end in "t" are automatically feminine.

A good example is to look at the term for "lord". When in reference to a man it is "neb." When in reference to a woman, the term is "nebt" (or "nebet"), "Female Lord," or in English, "Lady."

Just as English language uses "-s" to designate the plural, Kemetic uses a "-w" (pronounced "oo," as in "moot"). For example, the plural of "netjer" (god) is "netjeru" (gods). Not all words that end in "u" are automatically plural; you will need to look at context. Some plurals are "collective nouns" -- a noun for one thing that comprises many parts. A collective noun in English is the word "team." A team is one thing, yet is made up of many parts.

Pronunciation Key
"w" and "u" sound like "oo" in "soon"
"a" is a "o" or "ah," as in "mop" or "father" (NEVER a short "a" as in "cast.")
"kh" is a "ch" as in "loch"
"s" is "s" as in "snake, " sometimes "z" as in "zebra"
"tj" is a "ch" as in "cheer"
"o" is a long "oh" as in "total"
"e" is an "e" as in "bet"
"dj" is a "dg" as in "dodge"

' (an apostrophe) signifies a glottal stop (similar to the sound made when saying "ma" and "otter" together quickly)
