"𓈋" meaning in All languages combined

See 𓈋 on Wiktionary

Symbol [Egyptian]

Forms: Dw [canonical], ḏw [romanization]
Etymology: Representing two hills framing a wadi. Compare the Chinese character 丘. The hieroglyph was generally colored yellow or pink with dark spots to represent desert and rock, and sometimes its base was colored black or green to represent cultivated land. Archaic forms (and occasionally Old Kingdom and later forms) show the outer sides sloping instead of vertical. The phonogrammatic value of ḏw is derived by the rebus principle from its use as a logogram for ḏw (“mountain”). Head templates: {{head|egy|symbol|head=<hiero>Dw</hiero>|tr=ḏw}} Dw (ḏw)
