God or Deity 𓊹

Let’s read some hieroglyphs 𓊹𓌃𓏪! Today 𓏇𓇋𓈖𓇳 we are going to be looking at the word “𓊹.”

The “cloth on a pole 𓊹“ hieroglyph is an ideogram for the word god or deity. 𓊹 is also a triliteral phonogram, and represents the letters “ntr,” which may have been pronounced like “neter.” 𓊹 Is also a determinative for “god.”

This makes the “cloth on a pole 𓊹“ symbol super interesting because it can function as all three types of hieroglyphs 𓊹𓌃𓏪. If you see this symbol, you are most likely looking at a word that has to do with the gods 𓊹𓊹𓊹!
