biliteral hieroglyphics VII

Hand-drawn index cards, Egyptian hieroglyphic biliterals from Gardiner's lesson VII. This is just having a bit of fun. Cards held up in front of MacBook's built-in camera. Resized and adjusted in Photoshop. This saved me the trouble of dragging out the scanner which in the end might have been easier and undoubtedly a lot better. The point was to handle the cards multiple times, to say their sound values so that the unusual sounds occur automatically on sight.
