Here are the two most common ways to write Geb\u2019s name \ud80c\udc8b\ud80c\ude16 in hieroglyphs \ud80c\udeb9\ud80c\udf03\ud80c\udfea: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud80c\udd6c\ud80c\udcc0\ud80c\udc2d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud80c\udd6c\ud80c\udcc0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s break down each of the symbols! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cgoose \ud80c\udd6c\u201d is a biliteral phonogram that represents the sound \u201cgb\u201d which would have possibly been pronounced like \u201cGeb.\u201d It can also act as a determinative in certain cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cfoot \ud80c\udcc0\u201d symbol is a uniliteral phonogram that represents the sound \u201cb.\u201d Here, the \u201cfoot \ud80c\udcc0\u201d symbol is acting as a phonetic complement, meaning it\u2019s emphasizing the \u201cb\u201d sound from the previous symbol, and was most likely not pronounced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cseated god \ud80c\udc2d\u201d is a determinative symbol and isn\u2019t pronounced! It acts as \u201cpunctuation\u201d at the end of the name of a male god!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hardest part about some of the hieroglyphs \ud80c\udeb9\ud80c\udf03\ud80c\udfea is distinguishing them from each other! The \u201cgoose \ud80c\udd6c\u201d and the very popular \u201cpintail duck \ud80c\udd6d\u201d symbols are almost indistinguishable from each other! Not going to lie, sometimes I have difficulty telling the two symbols apart!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
