i too, don't read as well from a screen as i do from paper (i see the 60hz flickers..yeah, i know humans aren't supposed to be able too.. but..)

the only 'word' i know from ancient eygpt is the name
susanna.. (the hebrew is Shoshana and is very close to the what they think the ancient egyptian sounded like (based on other names transliterations.. (ie, cleopatra, tut, etc..) based on there Rosetta stone knowledge base.

i don't know enough about the language group that modern or ancient egyptian to know if it is a semite language (like modern hebrew or arabic) or some other group..

but anything you have to offer will be interesting!
