Noun

IPA: /nijˈsiːwat biˈjaːtVj/ (note: reconstructed), /nijˈsiːjaʔ biˈjaːtVj/ (note: reconstructed), /ʔənˈsiːʔ bəˈjaːtə/ (note: reconstructed), /ʔənˈsiːʔ βəˈjoːt/ (note: reconstructed), /nijˈsiːwat biˈjaːtVj/ (note: Old Egyptian, c. 2500 BCE), /nijˈsiːjaʔ biˈjaːtVj/ (note: Middle Egyptian, c. 1700 BCE), /ʔənˈsiːʔ bəˈjaːtə/ (note: Amarna-period Late Egyptian, c. 1350 BCE), /ʔənˈsiːʔ βəˈjoːt/ (note: latest Late Egyptian, c. 800 BCE), /nɛsuːt biti/ (note: modern Egyptological) Forms: sw:t-bit:t [canonical, masculine]
Etymology: nswt + bjtj, literally ‘the belonging one of the sedge, the one of the bee’, or, more simply, ‘he of the sedge and the bee’, the sedge and the bee being emblems of Upper and Lower Egypt, respectively, according to the traditional etymology. Sometimes it is instead read as n(j) + swt + bjt, literally ‘the belonging one of the sedge and of the bee’, thus ultimately expressing the same meaning. In recent times the derivation and reading of nswt has been questioned; if it is not in fact derived from swt (“sedge”), then nswt-bjtj may just be a compound of two words meaning ‘king’. The term is also attested in cuneiform script as 𒅔𒋛𒅁𒅀 (in-si-ib-ia) from a Ramesside-era Hittite letter.
