[Egyptian] Cambridge: conclusions and next steps

[So Miyagawa]

Hi Heleen and all,

I put HieroJIS and links to its demo and how-to videos on GitHub with basic
vocabulary (not including the data of TLA).

https://github.com/somiyagawa/Toolkit-for-Coptic-and-Ancient-Egyptian-including-HieroJIS

If Marwan and TLA agree, I will put all the things of SINUHE. SINUHE is
HieroJIS & Marwan's group writing font using TLA data. (Sublime
INputting of Unicode for Hieroglyphic Egyptian)

Now, several students of Goettingen and Macquarie are contributing to our
data. We will have a workshop mainly for these contributors in November or
December.

I'm now on the way of implementing CATEGORY or DESCRIPTION inputting system
like SEATEDMAN --> A1, MAN ---> all the glyphs in A. If you have such a
good list of description of glyphs except Gardiner's, please let me know it.

Best,
So

וַיִּמְצָא מֶלֶךְ-אַשּׁוּר בְּהוֹשֵׁעַ קֶשֶׁר, אֲשֶׁר שָׁלַח מַלְאָכִים
אֶל-סוֹא מֶלֶךְ-מִצְרַיִם, וְלֹא-הֶעֱלָה מִנְחָה לְמֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר,
כְּשָׁנָה בְשָׁנָה;

"But the king of Assyria found treachery in Hoshea, for he had sent
messengers to So, king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of
Assyria, as he had done year by year ." (2 Kings 17:4, ESV)
