replies: text: Well, I knew there was at least a SunOS 1.2 (see above section)... .  Google also turned up many references to SunOS 1.1, so I added 1.1 and 1.2, citing what seems to be an acceptable source.  Even though the cited page has some inaccuracies, the early SunOS dates seemed to be backed up by other web and Usenet posts.  I went with their date for SunOS 3.2 to replace the Feb 1987 date previously listed, as there were Usenet posts about 3.2 more in line with a Sept. 1986 release date.--NapoliRoma 14:20, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The Imperial mon (emblem) was added in the Notes section in 2010.  In 2012, the image was removed from this and other articles about Japanese emperors -- compare here. Zenwort's edit summary is clear and reasonable --img of Imperial seal removed, this was not used before the Muromachi era 
The use of this symbol is justified because this article is an important part of a grouping of articles about the emperors of Japan -- see Imperial Household Agency (Kunaichō):  懿徳天皇 (04).

Talk:Iry-Hor

message: Today's XKCD comic  has a mouseover message that says that Iry-Hor is the earliest human being known by name. Googling I found some online "ask questions" pages that mentioned him as either the earliest such person or one of a few contenders for said title. I'd like to change the sentence in the lead to "Iry-Hor is the earliest ruler of Egypt, and one of the earliest human beings, known by name." However, nothing I found would constitute a reliable source. Anyone have anything that would? (Of course, if you've got something that shows the idea to be wrong, post that here.) Brettalan (talk) 17:09, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Highly uncertain. I'm not even convinced that he is the first Egyptian known by name. See this German list of Pharaohs for some other good candidates: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Pharaonen There's also a bunch of Proto-cuneiform administrative accounts from the late Uruk-period (roughly the same era as these pre-dynastic kings of Egypt) which mention the names of the persons doing business, but also the names of sold slaves etc.--WANAX (talk) 21:33, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Nebra (pharaoh)

message: His name actually came from the name of the god Ra, also sometimes written Re, thus giving his name a meaning 'The Son of Ra'. His name Raneb translates as "Ra is the Lord". What that means? What his name means? "The Son of Ra" or "Ra is the Lord"?--93.139.84.196 (talk) 17:34, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I'm not exactly well versed on Egyptology, but the cartouche of Raneb looks remarkably like three erect penises.  Does anyone know the story behind this depiction and why?  This is a serious question. Dinkytown talk 10:55, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The three phalli point to the sacred Apis-bull. Therefore, the cartouche name reads "Kakau" and means "Ka of the (Apis-)bull". Indeed, the name is problematic. Contemporary inscriptions from Raneb's lifetime never use any phallus-sign. Thus, it is unknown on which name or title the name "Kakau" was based. An idea of mine is that, that the weneg-flower, which is now connected to Raneb, might have had the reading "Kakau" and the ramesside cartouche was nothing but a onomatopoeic representation of the weneg-flower. Regards;--Nephiliskos (talk) 12:05, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you Nephiliskos for your response and answer. Your theory sounds plausible. I imagine that I'm making a common mistake that Egyptian hieroglyphs are translated word-for-word into any modern language and wondering how Raneb's cartouche could have been translated from that script. If you have any sources to cite your theory, it would go far in shedding light on that issue. Thank you. Dinkytown talk 05:57, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Linguists investigating egyptian hieroglyphs of early times, including Ludwig David Morenz and Bernadette Menu, call for caution about the reading of ruler's names. Egyptologist Walter Bryan Emery also points out, that the reading of the weneg-flower is disputed. My theory is based on Morenz and Menu. We must always keep in mind that (like Morenz points out) the Egyptians of ramesside era wrote and read an advanced and worked-over form of Egyptian. The egyption hieroglyphs underwent several "spelling reforms" (as we of today would call it). A very good example of that is the ram-hieroglyph. From dynasty0 to dynasty3 it was read "ser", meaning "begetter", "ram" or "sheep". but in the 3rd dynasty its reading changed into "ba", meaning "soul". In case of the weneg-flower it might be the same. Since no real bull-depiction/-sign was ever involved in Raneb's names and titles, the ramesside cartouche name "kakau" may have nothing to do with the apis-bull - just being the onomatopoeic representation of the weneg-flower.

Talk:Khasekhemwy

message: As a word not as a name, the word translates to: “Yes, I shall/will carry it.” It is possible that the statue of ( the king) was going to be moved. Or else, the word/name could have a different meaning, or as a given name, no meaning at all. If the meaning as given here were to be considered, it’s root word being m.sekham or m.shekam, then, it would be a simple future tense in the First Person, indicating the willingness to carry the “heavy load.”  The reference of a job related name given to such a wage earner who would carry/move heavy load is “rephaO” . With inevitable variation of spelling of words in transliteration, it is a word from the same root word or base like that of a statue of a large male labeled as ‘Urfa’ /Balikligol of Anatolia.
U/wuea/ue or abbreviated form ‘u/U means “yes” and .rfa(O) means “will work/carry , do heavy labor for a wage.” Or, ‘yes, I will carry and do the heavy work.” It is to be noted that ancient words like the selected and presented here for discussion purposes often point out to the linking words of these ancient lands. No construction of heavy materials could have been accomplished in the distance periods of ancient civilizations without the labor force that could/would carry the heavy materials. What is revealing when researchers come across such words, if indeed their meanings are the same then as they are today, when taken within the context of their texts is the fact that despite the effect of time and elements, their meanings still indicate to the same issues.  Today, a “rfa”/“rfaO”  would only work for a wage be it hourly, daily or per project. A deal is made ahead of time. Could it have been the same then? More texts might reveal the conditions under which a rfa which refers only to a male, while a female who does light work would be referred as “sheqalit “ and a male laborer for light work would be referred to as “sheqalai “, were compensated.

message: The title of the page is Union of Soviet Composers. Many pages referring to that Soviet-era body link here (such as Tikhon Khrennikov). But the page is entirely about the Union of Composers of the Russian Federation, which seems to be some sort of successor entity. 
All content referring to the political role of the Soviet-era Union seems to have been removed by user Unioncomposersrussia in 2016.
