There are two hieroglyphs for the letter "A"
representing the different sounds of the
letter. Hieroglyphic
writing contains a phonetic element, called a phonogram.
A phonogram is an image that can
represent a spoken sound. The image
of the bird depicts a vulture and used for
the short "a" sound in words, like CAT. The
image of the arm makes a long "a" sound like
