Abstract
This study deals with the Egyptian phonetic change between "n" and "i". The phenomenon has been known for half a century. Its first detailed investigation appeared in the grammar of Egyptian medical texts by Westendorf from the year 1962. In there, the phenomenon could be demonstrated in seven cases. The present contribution continues work on this topic, significantly increasing the number of examples. The material consists of writings of individual words on the one side and plays on words on the other. The period of the examples went from the Old Kingdom to the Graeco-Roman Period. In the course of the investigation, twenty two new examples could be collected. The phonetic change takes place from "n" to "i" and "i" to "n". Keywords: Egyptian philology, Egyptian phonology, phonetic change between "n" and "i"
