Usage notes
There seems to be some confusion over the determinative used in this word; Lesko renders it
W23
, while Erman and Grapow render it
W6
, but in the slips used for compiling their dictionary it is rendered identically to
W24
. The original word (and so the determinative) is attested only in hieratic, where the sign most closely resembles other hieratic writings of
W24
.[3]
