.... 'Ali who is regarded as

Hierogyphics
.... we can pronounce as "met".
THE pronunciation of a word is the crucial element in using
hieroglyphics, how a word sounds is more important then how it is spelled.
For instance, the word that is spelled "cat" is actually pronounced "kat". The
name that is spelled "Cleopatra" is pronounced "Kliopadra". So, these word

marriage. The first of these new women were out only for fun. The
second was the concept of an asexual being who did not need a man.

Moses and Saint Paul as well as symbolic figures of the active and contemplative life-

chambers’"1 . Beliefs that caves were inhabited by negative thoughts, or
spirits, were also held by the native-American cul .....
