A search of the etymologies in the online AHD for Egyptian gives the following: http://www.bartleby.com/cgi-bin/texis/webinator/ahdsearch?search_type=etym&query=Egyptian&db=ahd&Submit=Search Can anyone do something similar with an electronic OED? I cross-checked mummy, which the Krysstal site lists as being of Egyptian origin. The AHD traces it back to the Persian for wax. Looking at the page for words originating from Malay, I can see some mistakes.
