The ancient Egyptian papyrus stem hieroglyph is one of the oldest language hieroglyphs from Ancient Egypt. Along with the hieroglyph for the ''Papyrus clump'', a symbol of the Nile god Hapy, it is one of the foundation hieroglyphs at the core of the history of Ancient Egypt. The papyrus stalk, (or stem) was incorporated into designs of columns on buildings, also facades, and is also in the iconographic art portrayed in Ancient Egyptian decorated scenes. The papyrus stem hieroglyph shows a single stalk and umbel of the plant. It is used for the color 'green', and for vigour, or youth-(growing things). ==Language usage of papyrus stem== The basic usage of the papyrus stem hieroglyph is as an ideogram, (graphic picture), in the word for ''"papyrus stem"'', the ''w3dj'', or the older representation of ''"uatch"''. As the papyrus plant is from the Nile Delta, and is a symbol of Lower Egypt and its green and productive quality of food growing, the usage of the ''papyrus stem'' is also used to represent ''growth, vigour, youth'', all things fresh, new and growing. The green color, or the Nile Delta's connection to the Mediterranean Sea, gave rise to the word the ''"Great Green"'', the Mediterranean, and thus its hieroglyphic spelling of the sea, using the papyrus stem hieroglyph-(green, great, or green-great-sea-"w3dj-wr"). Other words in the family of '' 'w3dj' '', or ''"uatch"'' words are related to: green, yellow green, green stones, eyepaint; also trees, plants, and amulets, to name a few. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Papyrus stem (hieroglyph)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
