Abstract

The research paper deals with a phenomenon of verbal association in the ancient Egyptian language, which is opposites and their concept in the language, and the meaning of multiplication between these words from the reality of the texts, and identifying the single word and its opposites and its various written images, and supporting it with evidence and inferences from the reality of the texts.
