N2 - Palaeographic and orthographic peculiarities of various subcorpora ofthe Amarna letters, as well as the gloss phenomenon, have attracted the interestof numerous scholars. Moreover, in recent decades a number of scholars havecontributed considerably to the study of Egyptian linguistic influence on thephraseology (Egyptian calques) and morphosyntax of the Canaanite Amarnaletters. Nevertheless, the probable Egyptian background of the logogram use inthe Amarna Letters has scarcely been noticed. In my opinion, the logogram usein the Amarna Letters in general, and in the Jerusalem letters in particular, maybe paralleled to some typical features of the Egyptian writing system. Three casesof the use of logograms in the Amarna Letters comparable to Egyptian scribalpractice are presented here, using the Jerusalem Scribe letters as an example. Myobservations are based on a number of scholarly works, and most of them arecited throughout the article.
