Egyptian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From nb (“lord, possessor”) + ḫꜥw (“appearance in glory, shining-forth”) in a direct genitive construction, thus ‘possessor of appearances in glory’. Sometimes the second part is instead interpreted as ḫꜥw (“crown”), etymologically the same word.
Pronunciation[edit]
- (modern Egyptological) IPA(key): /nɛb xɑːuː/
- Conventional anglicization: neb-khau
Noun[edit]
|
m
- a common epithet for the king: ‘Lord of Appearances’
- used as a title preceding the fifth (given) name in the royal titulary [since the 18th Dynasty]
Usage notes[edit]
This epithet is conventionally translated ‘Lord of Appearances’, but both parts of this translation are misleading — ‘possessor’ more accurately renders nb than ‘lord’ in this context, and ḫꜥw implies more splendor than a mere appearance.
Proper noun[edit]

m
- A serekh name notably borne by Sahure, a pharaoh of the Fifth Dynasty
