Re: Does the Egyptian Hieroglyphic proposal support Budge?

Without making a detailed comparison, I can't be sure, but I would be
surprised if you couldn't: Budge's representation of Egyptian writing wasn't
peculiar and I don't think he used unusual characters that might not
be encoded. As far as I know, the criticism of his work has to with
his translations and crude grammatical analysis, not his choice of
characters.
