Contrastive jw.jr, Conditional jw.jr, Temporal jw.jr: On Separating a Demotic Siamese Triplet

This paper's design is twofold. 1) Contribute to the analysis of Demotic grammar's most significant and also most characteristically Demotic problem, involving a set of orthographically and morphologically similar or identical and mostly vocalic grammatical morphemes known since Polotsky as converters or conjugation bases and corresponding in Coptic typically to Alphas or Epsilons with an occasional Ro. 2) Produce additional evidence for what the author in 1993 first called contiguity, contiguous events being neither fully simultaneous nor fully sequential but partly overlapping (earlier work is listed in his Fundamentals of Egyptian Grammar, I, p. lxviii [1999] or p. lxx [reprint 2012], with a full semantic analysis found at pp. 693-729); contiguity is typically expressed by combining two linguistic signs, (a) inverting events and (b) contrastive emphasis, as when Schiller writes in an idiom no longer used in contemporary German (translating) "Not so soon (nicht so bald) was the battle plan designed than (als) the king got moving" (not so soon = later!). Two new unambiguous examples of this mechanism from Late Egyptian (KRI I,12,13-14 and I,103,10,12) are cited at p. 38.
