THERE WAS NEVER AN EGYPTIAN ARABIC PRE-500 BCE.

Quote: "Egyptian Arabic has a unique grammar/syntax and words that are very different from those in classical Arabic and here is a case in point:"

The case in point should be that we have ancient Egyptian writings but no so-called Egyptian Arabic writings pre-500 BCE. The fundamental things apply - otherwise my case is easily dislodged: so put up!

The first writings of ancient Egyptian is in the first two words of the 10 Commandments, namely 'ANO CHI' ['I AM'], transcribed in alphabetical Hebrew. It is a direct pointer to the non-divine Egyptian Pharoahs, who never spoke Hebrew. If there was any Egyptian arabic, we should see 1000's of such books as proof - because the Arabs, unlike the Jews, were not persecuted or exiled for being Monotheists - which all so-called divine kings hated. There is just no excuse for the vaccuum seen here, It is clear why the false ones want to wipe off the only witness for the presecution.
