jꜣrrt

Egyptian

Pronunciation

Vycichl assumes defective writing, with an unrepresented consonant j:

 
  • (reconstructed) IPA(key): /jaʀˈlaljat/ → /jaʀˈlaljaʔ/ → /ʔaˈlaʔla/ → /ʔaˈlaʔlə/

Allen instead suggests the word is properly jrꜣrt, with the order of consonants changed for calligraphic reasons;[2] Peust gives an analogous solution, though he posits metathesis rather than calligraphic reasons.[3] In this case one can reconstruct:

 
  • (reconstructed) IPA(key): /jaˈlaʀlat/ → /jaˈlaʀlaʔ/ → /ʔaˈlaʔla/ → /ʔaˈlaʔlə/
