Usage notes

Dba
in this word was generally mirrored compared to the orientation shown here. Later writings use the unmirrored orientation.

The dual form of this word is commonly used with plural meaning. Furthermore, in the 19th and 20th Dynasties the dual form of the suffix pronoun .fj is often found with this word, even when the word itself is in plural form.
