Egyptian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Perfective passive participle of rḏj (“to give”) + ꜥnḫ (“life”), thus ‘given life’. Unlike other such passive participial clauses, this one has been fossilized without any resumptive pronoun (a construction like *ḏj n.f ꜥnḫ would be expected).
Pronunciation[edit]
- (modern Egyptological) IPA(key): /d͡ʒi ɑːnx/
- Conventional anglicization: dji ankh
Phrase[edit]
|
- an honorific phrase frequently added after the name of the reigning pharaoh
Noun[edit]
|
m
