Egyptian hieroglyphs

Hi, this article is quite long and it is starting to ramble, anyone just any views and suggestions for improvements? Markh 13:05, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that i is transliterated j. I've never seen this before in my (admittadly short) career in hieroglyphics, outside of spanish transliterations. Which transliteration system does that come from? Thanatosimii 22:21, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

/j/ and /i/ are interchangeable (Allen uses is), I think it is a German originating thing (See
Transliteration of ancient Egyptian). Markh 17:08, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply
