Comments

For arguments for a reading of 𓇓𓏏𓈖 as *ntsw, i.e., nzw, see Wolfgang Schenkel. 1986. Das Wort für 'König (von Oberägypten)', in: Göttinger Miszellen 94, pp. 57–73. DOI: http://doi.org/10.11588/propylaeumdok.00001425.
S.D. Schweitzer argued for a reading of the word more precisely as jnzw, i.e., a transliteration (j)nzw, in: Simon D. Schweitzer. 2011. Etymologische Notizen zu 𓇓𓏏𓈖, in: Cahiers Caribeens d’Egyptologie 15, pp. 83-92.
Currently, the TLA still often quotes the traditional (incorrect) transliteration nswt in the hieroglyphic/hieratic lemma list.
