Interpreting Written Morphology: The sDm.n=f in Pyramid Texts

Based on the behavior of 2rad in written inflection in Pyramid Texts, the study demonstrates that Earlier Egyptian did not have two morphologically distinct forms of the sDm.n=f distinguished by the position of stress. In the course of the argument, the overall conditions by which the written prefix i. can occur or not in the sDm.n=f in different inflectional classes are discussed. The final part of the argument includes a discussion of how uniform or non-uniform Earlier Egyptian verbal inflection was.
