Text of Note

The Egyptian vulture sign has, long over a century, been ambiguously presumed by most egyptologists as Hebrew aleph (usd\alephusd) or laryngeal (?) with the conventional pronunciation as the vowel /a/. While there is no question regarding the occurrence of lateral /L/ in Coptic, a direct descendant of Ancient Egyptian, most Egyptologists claim that there is no particular hieroglyphic sign for lateral /L/ in Ancient Egyptian. Utilizing an Afrocentric methodology, this study systematically examines considerably overlooked phonological data beyond Semitic through Chadic, Cushitic, Niger-Congo, Nilo-Saharan, Austronesian, Dravidian, Altaic and Indo-European languages. The evidence shows that contrary to the conventional claims of several Egyptologists, the original sound value of the Egyptian vulture is a lateral /L/.
