Jim:

Are you trying to resurrect your argument from Feb. four years ago?

Don’t neglect the linguistic pronunciation substitutions that may have changed greatly the pronunciation of the Egyptian language used about 3,900 years ago when Joseph lived, to when it was first transliterated to alphabetic language over a millennium later. Therefore, short of finding his name in hieroglyphics, any translation of his name will be highly speculative and impossible to prove.

Karl W. Randolph.
