Introduction
The GlyphStudy Group 2008 is working from Janice Kamrin’s Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs: A Practical Guide. It was published in 2004, is in print and widely available. When the Kamrin book has been completed to everyone’s satisfaction, we will be moving on to James Allen’s Middle Egyptian.
This page is designed to compliment the Glyph Study Group’s own pages:
Main GlyphStudy discussion page Moderated by Karen and (and Bob for the 2008 group)

Homework Instructions
Make your subject line read 2008 EX X where the last X contains the actual exercise number.
For example, for exercise 20 it would read: 2008 EX 20
For each homework exercise organize your work into fiveparts:
- Part one: Include all the parts of the exercise.
- Part two: Include any questions you have. They will all be answered.
- Part three: What was the easiest part of the material?
- Part four: Which were the most difficult parts of the material?
- Part five: Pace of the course. Are we moving too fast? too slow? just right
Click here to see an email produced by a homework volunteer on the Homework Group site (it will take you to the Homework Group website). It provides a very good example of what you should be aiming for.
When you have completed your homework you can send it to the Homework Group by emailing it to:
GlyphStudyHMWKVolunteers2008@yahoogroups.com
Or you can go straight to the 2008 Homework site and submit your answers from there. To send an email from the site look at the list of options on the left. You will see a link entitled “Messages”, beneath which there is the link “Post”. Click on Post to send a message to the Homework group.
Kamrin Resources
These are all PDFs available in the Files Section of the GlyphStudy Homework Volunteers 2008 website on Yahoo!. The links below will take you to the pages where they are housed on that site.
Study Guides
For each chapter a Study Guide by Bob Manske is available to help you to complete it.
Flash cards
These cards, either available to print or display in software, are designed to help you to learn the vocabulary in Kamrin
Kamrin Errata
This PDF by Bob Manske shows all the errata picked up by Group members in Kamrin’s book. It is an invaluable resource! It removes the “is this wrong or am I going mad?” factor.
