==Egyptian==

===Etymology 1===
Often suggested to be cognate to {{cog|he|בְּ־|tr=bə-}}, {{cog|ar|بِـ}}; however, more recent scholarship disputes this on phonological grounds, as Egyptian {{m|egy||m}} is not held to regularly correspond with Semitic {{m|sem-pro||*b}} by either the traditional school of Egyptian comparison or the Rösslerian school.

====Pronunciation====
{{egy-pr|o=ma<ref:{{R:egy:EDE|v=3}}>|m=mə|ml=mə|l=m̩}}

====Preposition====
{{egy-prep|head=m}}

# [[in]]
# {{lb|egy|of time}} [[in]], [[for]], [[during]]
# {{lb|egy|with certain verbs of motion}} [[into]]
# {{lb|egy|with most verbs of motion}} [[from]] [[within]], [[out of]], [[from]]
# {{lb|egy|of material}} made of, [[consist]]ing of
# {{lb|egy|of contents, e.g. of a group}} [[consist]]ing of, [[comprising]]
# [[by means of]]
# in a [[state]] of
# in the [[capacity]] of, in the [[role]] of, [[as]], [[being]]
# [[together with]], [[along with]]
# {{lb|egy|with following infinitive}} {{ng|forms the [[periphrastic]] [[imperfective]] of a verb}}

=====Usage notes=====
This preposition is often used with definition 9 to indicate temporary identity, so, for example, {{m|egy|z}} {{m|egy||m}} {{m|egy|ꜣhw}} (“the man is a poor man”) implies that this a temporary, rather than an eternal or generally true, state. Egyptian generally has an expansive view of what counts as a temporary identity compared to English.

=====Alternative forms=====

===Etymology 2===
Possibly originally a verb form, an imperative meaning ‘see’.

====Particle====
{{egy-part|proclitic|head=m-D38}}

# {{lb|egy|chiefly Old and Middle Egyptian|with a suffix pronoun}} [[behold]], [[lo]], [[look]]
#: {{syn|egy|ptr|q1=Late Egyptian}}
# {{lb|egy|without a suffix pronoun}} [[whether]], [[although]]

=====Usage notes=====
This particle must introduce a sentence. In Middle Egyptian, it is usually followed by an attached second-person suffix pronoun, such as {{m|egy|.k}}, {{m|egy|.ṯ}}, {{m|egy|.ṯnj}}, or {{m|egy|.ṯn}}, indicating the person being addressed; after this comes the subject, in the form of a nominal subject, a demonstrative pronoun, or a dependent pronoun. In Old Egyptian, a dependent pronoun could be used instead of a suffix pronoun, reflecting the word’s origins as an imperative.
