The Ancient Egyptian phrase ankh, wedja, seneb meaning "life, prosperity, health" is an epithetic formula which often appears after the names of Egyptian kings or references to their household, or at the end of letters. The phrase comprises three hieroglyphs: the triliteral sign for ''ankh'', meaning "life", the biliteral sign ''wedj'', and the alphabetic sign ''s''. The phrase's true grammatical form is difficult to reconstruct, though Gardiner suggests the symbols may represent verbs in the stative form. English translations of Egyptian often use the abbreviation "L.P.H." for "Life, Prosperity, Health". The phrase represents the following Egyptian words-(and their concepts): :#ankh: "Life" :#wedja: "to be whole/intact"/"Endurance" (= "Prosperity") :#seneb: "Health" == Ankh == Life: :''"Ankh"'', "to live," "life,"〔Wörterbuch der ägyptischen Sprache 1, 193.8–198.10, 198.11–200.8〕 was associated with the gods of Egypt, and Egyptian kings (''pharaohs'') aspired to achieve their responsibilities of governing and protecting life in Egypt. 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「Ankh wedja seneb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
