Macros

There is a limited macro facility (again, not part of the manuel). To define a macro, type

#def MACRONAME Body#
Note the second `#' sign. MACRONAME can be any unused sequence of letters, simple quote, and point.

This can be useful if a name appears often.

Example:

\begin{hieroglyph}

#def 'tA tA:N23*Z1#
tr-t:r-n-wn:n:n-k-tp-Z1-'tA
\end{hieroglyph}

Note that, once defined, these macros can be used in all subsequent hieroglyph environment.

A few useful definitions:

#def Hm' N42#
#def bdS A7#
#def bin G37#
#def arm D40#
#def knife T30#
#def copper N34#
#def di' D37#
#def hrw h-r:W*ra-Z1#
#def ink nw:k':A1#
#def inr O39#
#def iw' D54#
#def k' V31A#
#def nn M22-M22-n:n#
#def nxt A24#
#def rmn D41#
#def king A42#
#def sxA A2#
#def wnn wn:n:n#
