Egyptian

Etymology

Apparently from ḫr(w) (quotative particle) +‎ .fj (third-person singular suffix pronoun). The significance of the apparently superfluous suffix pronoun is not clear.

Pronunciation

Particle

x
r
xrwf
y

 quotative

  1. (with following dependent pronoun, noun, or both, indicating the speaker) marks a non-future direct quotation; says, said

Usage notes

Like the other quotatives kꜣ, jn, and ḫr, this word either follows the entire quotation that it marks or is inserted near its start (but never at its start).
