The NAMES indeed!!! I read a book by the famous Egyptologist, Dr. Carter in which he explained that the hieroglyphics gave no clue as to the vowel sounds, but only the consonants. I'm hoping that that was a license to pronounce those "names" however was easiest, making vowel substitutions however would make the names pronounceable by our heathen tongues. Seemed to work for me!!TriciaG wrote: ↑July 30th, 2022, 12:52 pm Here you go:

Yes, those names are a lot of fun. But when I learned that nobody really knows the correct pronunciation because of those missing vowels I decided not to worry and focus more on being consistent in how wrong I was.TriciaG wrote: ↑July 30th, 2022, 12:52 pm Here you go:
