"Summian?" I asked, feeling confused. The book snorted it's laughter. It had gotten a drink from God knows where.

"Intelligent books," I muttered, rolling my eyes. "What next. And if I'm right, these texts won't be in sumerian."
"They won't?" Jessy asked dissapointed.
"No," I said. "Hebrew, Ancient Egyptian, maybe some Latin. But no Sumerian."

"Latin? I can do that. Have a bit of a problem with Hebrew, and I haven't mastered middle egyptian," I shook my head.
(((Sorry Doc, I have an egyptian magazine collection. Last issue was on scribes.)))

"One with lots of cochroaches." I said.
"How does that each you Egyptian?" Doc asked.
I shrugged. "I dunno. One day I was the school libary and I found a book writen in ancient Egpytian.... The was a word for it......"
"Hieroglyphs (sp?)?" Doc offered.
"Yeah those. Anyway, as soon as I opened the boo I could read it."

(((T-pot, the ancient writings of Egypt could have been written in three different versions of the same language. Therefore, you must either know one of the written languages or all three or two, yadayadayada.)))

"Which language?" Jessy asked.
I shrugged. "I don't know."

"Most likely Middle. It was one used for important writngs. I must learn it." Mental note, learn more languages.
