Let’s read some Hieroglyphs 𓊹𓌃𓏪!
Today 𓏇𓇋𓈖𓇳 we are going to look at a word that appears in most funerary inscriptions! This word/phrase is “Revered One 𓇋𓌴𓄪𓐍” and it has many different variations!
“The Revered One 𓇋𓌴𓄪𓐍” appears on funerary equipment 𓈎𓂋𓋴𓏏𓏏𓊭 (coffins 𓋴𓅱𓎛𓏏𓆱𓏦, False Doors, Canopic Jar Cases, etc.)! This word can be tricky though because there are a lot of different variants of it – meaning that it can be spelled differently depending on how the word is used or the amount of space available on the object.
Here are some of the variants for “The Revered One”/“Revered” that can appear in hieroglyphic inscriptions:
𓇋𓌴𓄪𓐍 (this is the one pictured)
𓇋𓌴𓄪
𓇋𓌴𓄪𓅱
𓇋𓌴𓄪𓐍𓅱
𓐍𓄪𓅱
𓇋𓌴𓄪𓐍𓇌
𓇋𓄪𓐍𓅱
𓇋𓌴𓄪𓐍𓅱 (Revered Man – Dead)
𓄪𓐍𓇌𓏏 (Revered Woman – Dead)
I’m sure I did not list all of the variants either! Word variants can be confusing for people who are just starting to read hieroglyphs 𓊹𓌃𓏪 and that’s okay! It will just take some practice, and the best way to practice is to just keep reading real Egyptian inscriptions 𓏟𓏛𓏥!
Next time you go to a museum, see if you can find a variant for “Revered” or “Revered One” in hieroglyphs! I’m sure you will!!
