Abstract
 
This research tackles one of the ancient Egyptian words, which was used as a preposition. It has been included in many ancient Egyptian texts in simple and composite forms; it was added to names in the case of singular, dual or plural forms.
 
This word was also included in the verbal sentences followed with an object, it could also be found in the pure nominal sentence that consists of a subject and a predicate, or a nominal ‘verbalized’ sentence which contains an auxiliary verb like wnn. Consequently, its significance varied according to the context, which prompted the researcher to track the semantic faces of it as a simple preposition and not a compound preposition.
