Egyptian Alphabet: Hieroglyphic Symbol for
the Letter S
There is just one hieroglyph for the letter "S"
that represents the different sound of the
letter. Hieroglyphic
writing contains a phonetic element, called a phonogram.
A phonogram is an image that can
represent a spoken sound. The first image
depicts a pool and the second picture
depicts the symbol for folded line (all
clothes worn in ancient Egypt were made of
linen). |
