“The phrase _a shepherd fed his flock_, is thus rendered in that language:—_amiksa iksa thikhsi_. These words, moreover, constitute a beautiful illustration of the genius of the language. In _amiksa_ we have the formative particle _am_; and in _thikhsi_ there is the feminine prefix _th_, a peculiarity alike of the Berber and the Coptic. The prefixes and suffixes _t_, _th_, are Berber indications throughout the whole extent of north Africa.” Vide also Hornemann, Voyage, Vocab. p. 431. Footnote 49: In Jeremiah Cush and _Phut_ are names of African nations; while in hieroglyphics Libya is called _Nephaiat_, the “country of the nine bows.” The root of Nephaiat being _Phut_ (in Coptic a bow) connects the Libyans with _Phut_, the son of Ham, (Gen. x. 6,) and confirms the affiliation of the Libyans and Egyptians.
