Abstract
الدلالات السياقية لـ wA في اللغة المصرية القديمة                                                                                                                                                         [Ar]
وردت كلمة wA في النصوص المصرية القديمة بمرادفات عدة، اختلفت وتنوعت حسب السياق الواردة فيه، حيث أن السياق كان له دور هام في تحديد دلالة الكلمة على وجه الدقة، مما دفع الباحثة إلى تتبع الوجوه الدلالية للـ wA والوقوف على معانيها، حيث تتناول الورقة البحثية التعريف بـالـ wA ومغزاها والمدلولات السياقية المختلفة لهذا اللفظ، وترتكز الورقة البحثية على لعنة الـ wA وكيفية وقوعها على الأشخاص وأسباب التحاقها بهم، ودوافع البعد وذلك من واقع النصوص.

Because context has an important role in determining the exact significance of the word, the researcher was prompted to trace the semantic aspects of wA and determine its meanings. The topic of this paper deals with the definition of wA, its meaning, and the different contextual connotations of this term.
