the more generally used word remained in the lexicon. However, this is not the case
with our words, they are both used at the same time side by side, even in the docu¬
ments of the same person — albeit never in the same source. On the stelae of
Ramessesashahebused, both words appear in the forms of dia TT; 9 17 for wb3, and
+ 0e" ® for wdpw, as well as on the stelae of Hori they appear as T» IF: for wb3,
and +9,” for wdpw. More examples of the word wb3 with hieroglyphic writing on
stone material and that of the word wdpw with hieratic writing on ostracon and/or
papyrus are attested on the remains of Ramessesemperre,”® Paenrenenutet,™
Sobekhotep,*® Hori,?* Nakhtamun,” Nesamun,* and Neferkareemperamun.” Based
on the division of the appearance of the two words in these instances, one might ini¬
tially agree with Gregersen, who primarily concludes — regarding the distribution and
writing of the title wb3 nswt — that it predominantly depended on the type of media
on which the text was written and on the type of its writing, namely whether a text was
written on sources of monumental character with hieroglyphic signs or on papyrus,
ostracon or graffito with hieratic signs. Her conclusion is ‘that the main writings on
monuments are + , ta, +5, +3, whereas on papyri, ostraca, and graffiti Joe)
