The larger collection of Siwahan words, which I had first made, was lost with other papers, by an accident which I shall hereafter have occasion to mention. The following list I had from a man of Siwah, whom I afterwards got acquainted with at Augila. Sun, _Itfuct._ | Horse, _Achmar._ Clouds, _Logmam._ | Horses, _Ickmare._ Ear, _Temmesocht._ | Have you a horse? _Goreck Achmar._ Head, _Achfé._ | Milk, _Achi._ Eye, _Taun._ | Flesh or Meat, _Acksum._ Eyebrow, _Temauin._ | Bread, _Tagora._ Beard, _Itmert._ | Oil, _Tsemur._ Hand, _Fuss._ | Water, _Aman._ Penis, _Achmum._ | Dates, _Tena._ Camel, _Lgum._ | House, _Achbén._ Sheep, _Jelibb._ | Houses, _Gebeun._ Cow, _Ftunest._ | Sand, _Itjeda._ Mountain, _Iddrarn._ | Cap, _Tschatschet._ Sabre, _Aus._ | Catacombs, _Tum-megar._ Sword, _Limscha._ | SECTION V. _Antiquities of Siwah._ As we approached the spot destined for our encampment in the Vale of Siwah, I descried to the westward some ruins of an extensive building, a few miles distant from the road, and concluded them to be the same as noticed by a late English traveller, (Mr. Brown,) of whose discoveries I heard first in London, and afterwards, when in Egypt. Circumstances rendered it necessary for me to be particularly on my guard, and to defer any visit to, or actual inspection of, these antiquities, until I had retrieved the confidence of the natives, who, on my very first appearance, (as I was informed,) had taken me and my interpreter, for Christians; and to this supposition they were induced, from our fairer complexion, from our gait and manners, and from our Turkish dresses. When I took advantage of the disturbances at Cairo and its environs, to get introduced as a Mahomedan to the caravan, I could not indeed speak readily, either Turkish or Arabic; but in this, I flattered myself, the assumed character of a young Mameluke might be my excuse; and I further derived confidence from the experience and abilities of my interpreter, who (a German by birth,) had been forced, twelve years past, to embrace the Mahommedan religion at Constantinople, and whose address and knowledge, I hoped, might preclude, or extricate me from, any consequences of jealousy or suspicion.
