"nfr.f-rꜥ" meaning in All languages combined

See nfr.f-rꜥ on Wiktionary

Proper name [Egyptian]

IPA: /nɛfɛrʔɛf rɑː/ (note: modern Egyptological) Forms: ra-nfr:f [canonical, masculine]
Etymology: The reading and interpretation of this name are disputed. Depending on the presence or absence of honorific transposition, rꜥ may be read as either following or preceding nfr.f. Furthermore, it is unclear if the f in this name is to be read as a suffix pronoun .f (“he, his”) or simply a phonetic complement to the sign for nfr. Verner has proposed that the name was originally intended to be read as rꜥ-nfr (“Ra is beautiful”) but was soon misconstrued as rꜥ-nfr.f (“Ra, he is beautiful”). Leprohon accepts this idea of a later misconstrual but reads the name with rꜥ at the end, so that the king’s name does not focus on the sun god but rather on the king himself; he proposes an analysis following the sequence of nfr (“to be pleasing, fine, good”) + .f (“he”) + rꜥ (“Ra”), thus ‘he is perfect [= fine] (in the manner of) Ra’ (from an original form nfr-rꜥ (“the perfection of Ra”)). Etymology templates: {{af|egy|nfr <t:to be pleasing, fine, good>|.f <t:he>|rꜥ <t:Ra>}} nfr (“to be pleasing, fine, good”) + .f (“he”) + rꜥ (“Ra”) Head templates: {{head|egy|proper nouns|head=<hiero>ra-nfr:f</hiero>}} ra-nfr:f, {{egy-proper noun|m|head=ra-nfr:f}} ra-nfr:f m
