Summary
This article takes a fresh at the geographical term mw-qd, usually transcribed as “inverted/reverse/encircling water” (or the like) and often identified with the river Euphrates in Mesopotamia or the Red Sea or a part of it. After an overview of the attestations of the term, the former ideas of the researchers and the discussion of grammatical and lexical details, a new effort tries to show that there would have been at least two or three locations bearing this name: the region on the Upper Nile in Nubia between the Fourth Cataract and Kurgus, where the Nile takes a characteristic bend in its course, further a region on the northern coastal area of the Red Sea, perhaps the region of Qoseir, and at last a river in Asia, perhaps the Euphrates.
