equipment| The ancient Egyptian Scribe equipment hieroglyph 𓏞 (Gardiner no. Y3), or its reversed form 𓏟 (Gardiner no. Y4), portrays the equipment of the scribe. Numerous scribes used the hieroglyph in stating their name, either on papyrus documents, but especially on statuary or tomb reliefs. The hieroglyph depicts the 3 major components of a scribe's equipment:
Language usageThe scribe equipment hieroglyph is often used as a determinative for items relating to writing or the scribe. Combined with the determinative for person 𓀀 (Gardiner no. A1), the hieroglyph is read as zẖw (zẖꜣw), probably pronounced [θaçʀaw][2] or [θiçɫu][3] in Old Egyptian, and [saçʔaw] or [saçʔu] following the changes in pronunciation of z in Middle Egyptian and of (ꜣ) in Late Egyptian. By the Coptic stage of the language, this had lost its glottal stop and ending, reducing to [sax] (pl. [sxwi]).[4] Often the transliteration "sesh" appears, derived from the mistaken reading sš propagated in the dictionary and books of E. A. W. Budge. This reading is found as a phonetic complement using the signs for z and š, leading to the misunderstanding. However, Old Kingdom Egyptian lacked a distinct sign for the ẖ sound and the Coptic descendant shows that the original second consonant was indeed the palatalized fricative ẖ not the (alveolo-)palatal sibilant š,[5] (š being the pool-lake-basin (hieroglyph) in the Egyptian language). When used as the verb zẖ (zẖꜣ), the hieroglyph has a variety of related meanings: to write, to draw, to make a design, to do into writing. As the noun zẖ (zẖꜣ), it means:[6] writing, inscription, written roll of papyrus, book, copy of a document, & handwriting. In plural usage: writings, letters, books, documents, archives, decrees, handwriting, the columns of a book, papers, title-deeds, registers, and literature.[7] GalleryEquipment, as an artifactSee also{{Commons category|Scribe equipment (hieroglyph)}}{{Commons category|Ancient Egyptian statues of scribes}}
