ḫr

• (modern Egyptological) IPA^(key): /xɛr/
  • Conventional anglicization: kher

1. in the presence of
2. into the presence of, to

This preposition is used when the object is someone of higher status, such as a king or a god, relating one person to another when social customs prohibit specifying a direct relationship. Thus, one does not speak ‘to’ (n) a god, but ‘in the presence of’ (ḫr) him.

 proclitic

1. (with following subjunctive or nonverbal predicate) then, and then, so; introduces a subordinate clause describing the inevitable result of an action in a preceding clause
2. (with following suffix pronoun/subject and imperfective) must, has to; introduces a subordinate clause describing a necessity
3. (introducing a prepositional phrase) then; also functions as a converter to allow a prepositional phrase to begin a sentence

In Middle Egyptian this particle is commonly used with a following subject and imperfective to denote necessity but only rarely with a following subjunctive to denote inevitable result.

• .ḫr

Possibly derived from ḫrw (“voice”).

 quotative

Like the other quotatives kꜣ, jn, and ḫrw.fj, this word either follows the entire quotation that it marks or is inserted near its start (but never at its start).

1. (intransitive) to fall
2. (transitive) to fell
