Talking Pyramids

Luca has announced an update to Hierowords, a free to download program that allows you to chose among 810 hieroglyphs of the Gardiner’s list and among 6717 hieroglyphs of the extended library from the CCER and arrange them in words.

In an email to the GlyphStudy group Luca wrote:

Dear all,

I am sorry for the long hiatus from my previous update on the Hieroword
software and dictionary.

As I was telling Mark I found it difficult to gather the enthusiasm to keep
up with the updates after the bitter episode of the Amazon.com published
dictionary.

However, I owe it to Mark and to all others who have contributed to
Hieroword and to all who benefit from it to continue my effort.

I finally got around to upload Mark’s new dictionary as well as Hieroword
3.4.7 (which I did a while ago).

Hieroword 3.4.7 acepts dictionaries of up to 50,000 definitions and
therefore you will need it if you use Mark’s dictionary or any of the other
re-sortings and variations of more than 15,000 entries.

As usual you can find everything here:

Enjoy and if you redistribute it do not forget to give credit where credit
is due.

Take care

Luca

Be aware that if you have not already installed the full version of HieroWords you will need to download and install 3.4.6 before updating to version 3.4.7. The 3.4.7 update extends the capacity of the program to up to 50,000 words from the original 15,000 limit.

Hierowords as well as JSesh and other Hieroglyph software can be found on the Pyramid Texts Online Tools page
