Summary/Abstract: In this paper, a new approach of interpreting Egyptian Dramatic Ramesseumpapyrus 45, Scene 12, is undertaken. In the concrete case a new explanation for ś in is put forward. The old view of K. Sethe, who translates the whole passage as ‘to kill goose’ or ś alone with ‘to strangulate goose’, is questioned. The new proposal tries to prove that ś can be a defective writing for śṯt ‘pluck’ or ṯśi ‘bind’, respectively. The exchange between ś and dentals may have played a vital role.
