Neb or Nep?

[edit]

From chatgpt:

To say "lord of mouth" in ancient Egyptian, you would use the following construction:

  • "Lord" in ancient Egyptian is often represented as "neb" (nb), which means lord or master.
  • "Of" can be represented using the genitival adjective, which in hieroglyphics is often implied by the arrangement of glyphs rather than a specific word.
  • "Mouth" is "rꜥ" (rא).

Combining these, "lord of mouth" would be transliterated as **"nb rꜥ"**. In hieroglyphics, this would typically involve the symbols for "lord" (a basket for nb) followed by the symbol for "mouth" (a mouth outline for rꜥ), with the understanding that the arrangement conveys possession or association.
