This is stupid.
ReplyDeleteFor starters, those symbols are taken from the so-called "egyptian alphabet". They're monoliteral hyeroglyphs but the vowels are not the same as latin ones.
One has to keep in mind that no one knows how exactly ancient egyptian was pronounced. Like many neighbouring semitic languages, they didn't wrote vowels, because the language simply doesn't need to write them to be understood.
For example, the eagle is said to represent the letter A, but in fact that was attributed for convenience. That symbol is thought to represent a glottal stop (a few egyptologists believe it is the same sound as the english R).
And the plume or palm leaf is the semi-vowel y. Doubled it's like a long E as in see. So what's written there would be: PEE-AH-SEE
Anyway, the real egyptian word for peace or "to be at peace" is a very famous one, present in so many names: HOTEP
You might as well use the real thing.
By the way, it's written with:
a table with a cake, a bread loaf, and a brick.
