Usage notes[edit]
The terms sḫm and zššt seem to have at times referred to two different kinds of sistrum; while the hieroglyph
could always be used in writings for both (though as a logogram only for sḫm), the hieroglyph
was originally only used in writings of zššt, while by the Greco-Roman Period it came to instead be used exclusively with sḫm.
