“Words Spoken by Osiris”

Let’s read some hieroglyphs 𓊹𓌃𓏪! Today we are going to combine two words/phrases we have already learned! Here we see an inscription with the symbols “𓆓𓌃𓇋𓈖𓁹𓊨𓀭.” This translates to “Words spoken by 𓆓𓌃𓇋𓈖 Osiris 𓁹𓊨𓀭.” 𓆓𓌃𓇋𓈖” is usually followed by the name 𓂋𓈖 of a god 𓊹 or goddess 𓊹𓏏 in inscriptions! 

The “cobra 𓆓” is a uniliteral phonogram, so it is a symbol that represents just one consonant. It represents the sound “ḏ” which would almost sound like a “j” when pronounced. 

The “staff or walking stick 𓌃” functions as both a phonogram (in this phrase) and as an ideogram (for the word “ staff 𓌃𓏺”). 𓌃 is a triliteral phonogram symbol and represents the sound “mdw.”

The “ripple of water 𓈖” is also a phonogram sign, and it is also uniliteral sign. The “𓈖” is associated with the sound of “n!” 

The “reed 𓇋” is a uniliteral phonogram for “ı͗,” however it can also function as an ideogram for the word “reed 𓇋𓏺.” 

The “eye 𓁹” is a biliteral phonogram for the sound “jr.” The “eye 𓁹” can also function as an ideogram for “eye 𓁹𓏺” and also as a determinative. 

The “𓊨 seat” is a biliteral phonogram that represents the sound “st.” It can also be used as an ideogram for the words seat/place. 

The “seated god 𓀭” is a determinative symbol and isn’t pronounced! It acts as “punctuation” at the end of the name of a male god!
