"𓋹" meaning in Egyptian

See 𓋹 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Character

Forms: anx [canonical], ꜥnḫ [romanization]
Etymology: Disputed. Traditionally it was interpreted as a sandal strap, but this explanation is now increasingly rejected. Fischer describes it as originally representing an elaborate amuletic bow, noting that the lower part represents the two ends of the cord next to each other; the form of the glyph in the Archaic Period generally showed these two ends widely separated instead of together as in the later ankh. Westendorf hypothesizes that it originally represented a sort of belt similar to the knot of Isis. Head templates: {{head|egy|symbol|head=<hiero>anx</hiero>|tr=ꜥnḫ}} anx (ꜥnḫ)
