The First Perfect iry.f smtr: New Evidence on its First Attestation
The Non-literary texts are important sort of texts that represent the events and missions of daily life in Ancient Egypt. The language of these texts was the low dialect or the so-called vernacular dialect. Many periphrastic constructions appeared in these texts such as: First Present, Second Tense, Third Future....etc. One of them was the First Perfect Construction iry.f smtr. This paper is a part of my MA thesis([i])and it is dedicated to study the First Perfect construction in the Non-literary texts of the 19th dynasty. Although Junge pointed that First Perfect was not attested before the Demotic and Roman Period, This study proves that it was found in the early Late Egyptian period particularly at the time of 18th dynasty. Furthermore, the study of the construction iry.f smtr([ii]) lingheits on its origin, morphology, function and attestation.

([ii]) According to an oral discussion with Prof. Dr. Ahmad Elnassari, he pointed that we should say iry.f smtr instead of iry.f sDm because sDm is a 3ae infintive, while the infinitive in First Perfect must be more than three radicals.
