rḏj jp ḥr

Egyptian

Etymology

From rḏj (“to give, to set”) +‎ jp (“whack^?, accounting^?”) +‎ ḥr (“upon”). The second element is perhaps to be identified with jp (“accounting”); if not, it seemingly only appears in this phrase and never independently.

- Conventional anglicization: redji ip her

Verb

compound
