| 1 | 45,893 entries as structured JSON — DATA, not page images — with the fields transliteration_unicode, transliteration_mdc, translation, pos, gardiner_signs, gardiner_section, id, source, page. THE `gardiner_signs` FIELD IS THE USEFUL ONE HERE: it links a lemma to the sign sequence that writes it, which is the join the hieroglyph detector's output needs in order to become a word rather than a list of codes; `page` keeps a citable reference, which CLAUDE.md §1.1(c) requires. Stands in for Faulkner's Concise Dictionary, which is purchase-only. Republished by AhmedElTaher on Hugging Face; the dataset card is staged beside the data so the licence claim travels with the file. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
