Usage notes

[edit]

In Late Egyptian jrm is usually used instead of ḥnꜥ with comitative meaning, and ḥnꜥ is used mostly to express coordination (‘and’) between defined elements. As time passes jrm replaces ḥnꜥ more and more, while on the other hand ḥnꜥ is often found instead of jrm in texts of a higher linguistic register.
