Egyptian
Etymology 1
Often suggested to be cognate to Hebrew בְּ־ (bə-), Arabic بِـ (bi-); however, more recent scholarship disputes this on phonological grounds, as Egyptian m is not held to regularly correspond with Semitic *b by either the traditional school of Egyptian comparison or the neuere Komparatistik school.
Pronunciation
- (reconstructed) IPA(key): /ma/ → /mə/ → /m̩/
- (modern Egyptological) IPA(key): /ɛm/
- Conventional anglicization: em
Preposition
|
- in
- (of time) in, for, during
- (with certain verbs of motion) into
- (with most verbs of motion) from within, out of, from
- (of material) made of, consisting of
- (of contents, e.g. of a group) consisting of, comprising
- by means of
- in a state of
- in the capacity of, in the role of, as, being
- together with, along with
- (with following infinitive) forms the periphrastic imperfective of a verb
Usage notes
This preposition is often used with the second last definition here to indicate temporary identity, so, for example, z m ꜣhw (“the man is a poor man”) implies that this a temporary, rather than an eternal or generally true, state. Egyptian generally has an expansive view of what counts as a temporary identity compared to English.

Etymology 2
Possibly originally a verb form, an imperative meaning ‘see’.
Particle
|
proclitic
Usage notes
This particle must introduce a sentence. In Middle Egyptian, it is usually followed by an attached second-person suffix pronoun, such as .k, .ṯ, .ṯnj, or .ṯn, indicating the person being addressed; after this comes the subject, in the form of a nominal subject, a demonstrative pronoun, or a dependent pronoun. In Old Egyptian, a dependent pronoun could be used instead of a suffix pronoun, reflecting the word’s origins as an imperative.
