[edit] Removal
I removed the following:
- literally meaning "those from Izra" (or Asar), is the name of a pre-resurrected Egyptian pharaoh god.
This is not at all factual. The root of Mizraim goes back to a common Semitic root that has nothing to do with any Egyptian deity. —Nefertum17 17:24, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I thought "Mizraim" came from the Akkadian word Misr ("frontier" or "march"), according to some authorities in notes I don't have at hand at the moment. -- llywrch 21:37, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
