The greater part of the Egyptian language's history down to the Coptic era is marked by a strict syllable structure and stress law, which only allowed for word stress on the penultimate or last syllable of any given word ('Zweisilbengesetz').

Stressed vowels are short in closed (penultimate, last) syllables of a word.
“tonvokale sind kurz in geschlossenen (vorletzten, letzten) Silben eines Wortes.”
Stressed vowels are long in open (penultimate) syllables of a word.
“Tonvokale sind lang in offenen (vorletzten) Silben eines Wortes.”
K. Sethe, W. F. Edgerton and G. Fecht considered the emergence of the two-syllable law for the late Old Kingdom as proven.
“Schon K. Sethe, 207 W. f.edgerton 208 und g. fecht 209 sahen das aufkommen des Zweisilbengesetzes für das späte alte reich als erwiesen an.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
