nt-jqr.t
Egyptian
Etymology
nt (“Neith”) + jqrt, feminine of jqr (“excellent”), thus literally ‘Neith is excellent’.
While non-erroneous uses of this name are attested for other individuals, the name’s application to a sixth dynasty pharaoh/queen likely originated as a later error for nṯrj-kꜣ-rꜥ.
Pronunciation
- (modern Egyptological) IPA(key): /nɛt ikɛrʔɛt/
