The ancient Egyptians classified people by skin color.
The word Kemet refers to the skin, in particular the skin color BLACK
The Egyptians called themselves Kemet, meaning of Black skin, in order to distinguish themselves from the non-blacks in the region

Please try and ignore the Lyin'Ass crosspost when they are inane and do not allow him to sidetrack. He's just doing this to obfuscate and to get me tight.

There was a time I had the same discussion and I had multiple dictionaries at my disposal, including Budge, Coptic and later dynastic dictionaries. None of the entries for km.t had to do with farm/land. IIRC, there were some terms related to farm, but they were spelled as various variations of 'kam'. One of the translations for said variations was something like vineyard.

that's all outdated, start with Faulkner and Gardiner

All are welcome to post full pages from any standard AEL hieroglyphic dictionary. I will post Budge as it is in English and PDF format.

don't bother, Budge is laughable in 2014

Budge and Faulkner are the only two dictionaries I am familiar.
One thing to keep in mind when it comes to hieroglyphs is to pay attention to determinatives. Determinatives are key to knowing the complete definition of phrases.

I've heard of Leonard Lesko but never had the chance to read his work. Although I have read the works of his wife Barbara Lesko who is pretty open and adamant about Egypt's African identity.
