 m sg distal demonstrative determiner

1. that

This demonstrative was originally a determiner but could later be used alone, like a pronoun. When used as a determiner it follows or precedes the noun it describes.

It forms a contrastive pair with the demonstrative pn, in which pf is distal.

In Old Egyptian this form was occasionally used in place of the plural jpf. Whether this should be interpreted as a mere summarily written variant of jpf or as a genuine use of the singular for the plural is unclear.
