%X Virtually all translators render wd.n=i i£¿nn £¿r i3t=f in Sinuhe B 140 as ¡®I raised a/my war/victory cry (i£¿nn) over the back¡¯ of the n£¿tw of Retenu. The author argues instead that i£¿nn is an imperfective participial form derived from the verb £¿ni, ¡®to conspire/curse¡¯, with the verbal noun being a term of execration applied to the rebellious n£¿tw. Sinuhe¡¯s action of ¡®putting¡¯ (wdi) the condemned conspirator (i£¿nn) ¡®on his back¡¯ points to the victor¡¯s display of his disgraced opponent¡¯s corpse
