| 總結: | One of the best-known episodes described in the “Deeds of Suppiluliuma” is, when the Hittite king receives a letter from an Egyptian queen whose name is given as “Dahamunzu” in the cuneiform script. One crucial sentence in this part of the text ( tekri-wa naḫmi ) has always been difficult to understand since the exact meaning of the lexeme tekri - is not known. Nevertheless, many scholars have guessed a translation such as “ I fear such disgrace ” or similar. Since “ Dahamunzu ” has long been discovered to be the rendering of the Egyptian royal title tᴈ-ḥᵓ m.t nsw , an Egyptian etymology of tekri - does not seem unlikeley. It can indeed be interpreted as phonologically equivalent to Late Egyptian tᴈ-kᴈ.t “ vulva ” or “ cunt ” in the sense of “ prostitute ” or simply as a disrespective designation for a woman. |
