Abstract

The royal name borne by the third and fifth king of the VI dynasty is either read (a) Ppy (Ppjj) or (b) Pjpj. Even though the earlier option appears to represent better the actual hieroglyphic writing, the latter fits it no less, and there are parallels for either reading among hypocoristic names of the Old Kingdom with Ppy (Ppjj) belonging to a more common type than Pjpj. However, based on an analysis of hypocoristic names and the king list tradition down to Manetho, this royal name can be identified as a special kind of reduplicated hypocoristic name with a distinct stress pattern, which is characteristic for the Old Kingdom: Pjpj ~ *Păyắpăyă.
