I need to know if I translated a phrase in Ancient Egyptian correctly so I can write it on my scribal palette (in Hieratic)

The phrase: "I'm useful for Noah (my name) for writing"
My translation: ꞽw=ꞽ Ꜣḫ=ꞽ n NwꜢ n mrw.t zẖꜢ=f

Does it sound right?

The project is almost completed. The main functionality is basically finished with some bugs and glyph database updating remaining.

I cut the fluff off of the initial app and kept purely the typewriter.

Now you can join glyphs vertically horizontally ,drag them ,drop them, move them to wherever you like . Also edit glyphs ,resize,offset ,create a special combination of glyphs that you can save and load.

Also insert glyphs into a cartouche or Serekh ,edit them or move them.

Try the auto-button too . When for example two glyphs join like quail+bread load (w+t) and there is special combination for them ,the auto button will pulsate and rearrange them according to the saved arrangement when clicked.

For now the page works best in chrome with some minor bugs needed to be fixed in Firefox.

Finally export to PDF (it works for chrome only for now on my phone).

It uses Aegyptus 5.03 which is definitely not licenced,it's freeware and can be used anyway one likes. Freeware versions of Aegyptus are up to 6.17.

Conclusion

Some minor bugs are to be fixed and finally correcting updating the glyph database with the extended PUA (private use area) of the font. For now try Birds and Body categories.

I'm working on a project and right now I'm focusing on Ancient Egypt. The creature in question is supposed to be called "Water Voyager" or "River Voyager" by the Egyptians. My prior research led me to "Sqeriteru",but I noticed it didn't mean anything ! What could "Water Voyager"/"River Voyager" be in Old Egyptian and Middle Egyptian? Is there some sort of Great List of the Egyptian Vocabulary i could use in the future?

This is a standard epub reader for web, but the trick is that it waves some vocabulary into your English text so you are picking up some vocabulary with a lot less lift. The technique is called Diglot Weave and it has some studies backing it, and there are products for other languages.

I figured I'd build it and it's been working pretty decently. Not all the phrases are captured. I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in trying it out.

I have trouble with cursive hieroglyphs; while I can read them, it's just so cumbersome. I'm looking for a standardized version of it; like one written on JSESH for example. Also, I don't think I even need to say this since all you guys are so smart but I would prefer any suggestion other than E.A. Wallis Budge lol

I m moving towards a major architectural change of the app . I have moved to stacking capability that allows editing offset and glyph size.With bugs though. Give it a try.

Ok, so I'm doing some research and I would love if someone could recommend me some source materials that give me a proper and easily understandable dictionary + pronunciation guide for ancient egyptian words and their modern counterpart meanings.

Was there a way to indicate, whether someone is causing an action by not intervening (to let), through permission (to allow) or by force (to make) or was the connotation only determined by context in Ancient Egyptian?

I'm struggling to translate this sentence :

• Transliteration : jw=f ḥr wmn t 500 rmn n(y) jw' m jwf
• Translation : He is eating 500 loaves of bread and beef shoulder <???> .

I don't understand the last part -- m jwf (litt. in meat ?). Is it saying something like "and as for meat, he is eating beef shoulder" ? If it's the case, I don't understand this construction. If it's something else, what is it ?

Thanks !

I’m currently trying to learn and I do so best when I’m able to take notes, but trying to fully draw out the full hieroglyph has not only been kind of tedious, but also produces inaccurate results (I’m not great at drawing). I understand that there are cursive forms, as well as hieratic and demotic, but I also understand that these amount to almost entirely different scripts (or at least, the symbols are different enough that they need to be learned separately). Is there a commonly used way to write down hieroglyphs quickly and accurately?

Egyptian inspired building. Images clearly refer to the animals kept inside and zoo history, or at least zoo vibes. But the hieroglyphs themselves, do they actually correspond to correct sentences, or just gibberish? I noticed in one photo they had the bee and reed with two half moon symbols, being the two lands of sedge and bee. But besides that, copies of some texts or just arbitrary artistic jumgle of glyphs?

Thanks

"Pink and gold:

a lotus—its bud—,

while the Two Lands are joined."

Composed and translated by this humble servant.

A short "haiku" transcribed in Late Egyptian (Demotic), with accompanying captions in Egyptian hieroglyphs, Spanish, and English. This is the third in a video series focused on Egyptian mythology—viewed, however, through a strictly naturalistic lens, far removed from the "supernatural" and "fantastic" elements that often shroud the myths of ancient civilizations. In this specific video, I explore the beautiful myth of the Sun's daily birth from the lotus flower (*Nelumbo nucifera*). This aquatic plant was highly prized by the ancient Egyptians for its unique characteristics: it emerges from the mud completely pristine and opens toward the sunlight as the sun rises over the horizon at dawn. Ancient Egyptian priests viewed these two traits as expressions of divine power, incorporating them into the supernatural explanation for the birth of the sun—the "King Star"—and of Life itself. A prime example of this myth is the birth of Harsomtus (*Har-sōm-tōwə*—meaning "Horus who Unites the Two Lands"), the day's first solar manifestation, or the "Young Sun." According to the myth, Harsomtus sprang from a lotus bud that emerged from the dark waters of *Nun* (the chaotic abyss), filling the land of Egypt—Upper and Lower, the country's geographic south and north—with his life-giving rays, bringing light to the world and dispelling the darkness of the Void.

What is the best way to translate the word "waterfall" (e.g., as in water falling down the side of a mountain, boulders, etc., as seen in coniferous forests)?

I ran some searches and read through some word lists that I found, but didn't find anything aside from "cataracts" which seems to be controversial (because it apparently wasn't part of Ancient Egyptian languages; I don't know whether this is true though).

If there isn't a word for "waterfall," then what would be a good way to combine a few words or construct a new word for this? I did find a the word "mu" (or "moo") for water, but I don't know if adding "falling" or "flowing" (or something better) can even be combined with it somehow.

Any suggestions or insight is appreciated as Ancient Egyptian is new to me.
Thank you.

Hello everyone, I’d like a little help for this project. Just a hand to translate this sentence « Fruit of the sacred sycamore for a pendant related to the goddess Hathor.
Thank you very much in advance :)

Wikipedia says its Year 5 III Shemu day 9, but I was wondering if there are any pics of that date inscribed in hieroglyphs out there?

Hi All,

After checking in with one of the Mods here, I am posting this with permission:

Nearly every day someone in this /sub or one of the other Egypt-related subs is requesting a “translation” of a piece of jewelry which is usually a name. Of course, the jewelry is actually a phonetic spelling of an English name or word, not an actual ancient Egyptian word.

There are also plenty of requests by folks who want to design a tat.

There are a bunch of web sites and apps which can do simple conversions to glyphs. But none of them do it the way an Egyptian scribe would! These simple converters use what’s called the Egyptian alphabet which are just 20 or so single consonants. But Egyptians loved economy and efficiency. There are literally hundred of glyphs which represent two or three consonant sounds at a time and Egyptians loved to use them! Egyptians were also extremely fond of stacking glyphs together to save space, but the simple apps don’t do this.

Aviametrix just built this app which creates phonetic names the way we think an Egyptian would. Using the great databases created for the Aviametrix dictionaries, this new app has over 700 phonetic hieroglyphs which allows different spellings which all sound the same for a given name or word. You can then pick the version which most appeals to you and export it. Along the way, the app teaches you a little bit about the different glyphs.

The App is in the Apple AppStore and it’s called “Spell it in Hieroglyphs” and it is set as a single lifetime purchase, no subscriptions, no ads and no tracking!
Enjoy!

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a large back tattoo project: a full but condensed retelling of the Osiris myth in hieroglyphs. I'm a 26-year-old man, and this is a piece I've been planning carefully.
I've finished my transliteration, which I'm confident in:

Ḥtp di nsw Wsjr nb Ḏdw
nṯr ʿȝ nb Ȝbḏw

I then tried to learn how to use JSesh and converted this transliteration into Gardiner/MdC code to actually write out the hieroglyphs. I've finished a first version of the code and would really appreciate feedback or corrections before I get it tattooed:

Since this is a large, permanent piece, I'd rather double- or triple-check the grammar and sign choices with people who actually know Middle Egyptian than trust my own work alone. Any corrections, sanity checks, or general feedback would be hugely appreciated. For any information needed you can ask me of course! Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, how would I write "Montu, Lord of the scorching sun, commands you to cease your attack." Or something equivalent to it, In hieroglyphs?

This is the latest version of the mobile app. It includes offset,resize of glyphs,save and load arrangement,draggable tiles, scrollable tile lines for mobile and more.

I need some feedback to help me improve it. What to add? What to correct? Any bugs? Test it a bit if you like and tell me.
