“…A look at the conceptual metaphors for joy formed with the words for "heart" shows that it was experienced as a very pleasant state. For example, the literal translation of ȝw.t-jb as "broadness of the heart" makes it clear that it was understood as a feeling of liberation and exuberance (Beaux, 2012(Beaux, , p. 1578. It is therefore not surprising that it became early part of fixed blessing formulas, which were initially ascribed to the king, as shown by texts from the Old Kingdom (ca.…”

The aim of the article is to present essential aspects of five emotions (joy, fear, love, sadness, anger) on the basis of written sources from ancient Egypt. Through selective analyses of the Egyptian emotion vocabulary, including metaphors and descriptions of physical states and reactions, some elementary concepts will be explained. In addition, it is a concern to point out some of the difficulties that can be associated with the investigation of emotions in ancient Egyptian texts. Therefore, brief references are given to current Egyptological studies that have been devoted to the topic adopting new methods.

This article presents a lexical-semantic analysis of the lexeme jnd (Wb 1, 102.16–18) “betrübt sein, traurig sein”, “die Trauer, das Trauern”, “der Betrübte”; it contends that the current understanding of jnd requires some revision. Considering theoretical developments in the field of emotion research, namely that the conceptualisation and lexicalisation of emotions is strongly influenced by cultural attitudes, values and beliefs, and that emotion lexemes seldom have cross-cultural equivalents, it can no longer be presumed that jnd is a direct equivalent of the modern Western emotion of ‘sadness’. Based on the close contextual analysis of the surviving verbal and nominal attestations of jnd in the textual record, this article identifies and describes the senses of the lexeme and offers a diachronic analysis of how the identified senses evolved over jnd’s lifespan of use. To conclude, this article briefly considers the extent to which the revised meaning of jnd generated in this research overlaps with the anglophone semantic field of ‘sadness’.
