Abstract
Since her early days in Egyptology, the Amarna Period has been an inexhaustible source of inspiration to Orly Goldwasser. One of her first publications was a note on a cartouche of Ankhkheprure stamped onto a
jar handle from Tell Jerishe, and she also worked on scarabs of Amenophis III. When she focused her research interests on the principles of the hieroglyphic writing system, the Great Hymn to the Aten became
one of the most important textual sources for her groundbreaking research on what now is called the ‘system of classifiers’. Based on this seminal work, she also contributed to the understanding of the often difficult
and complex religious system of the Amarna Period. It is thus a particular pleasure to offer to Orly Goldwasser this modest remark on the morphology and writing of two peculiarly written epithets of Queen Nefertiti.
