nfrw-sbk

== Egyptian == === Etymology === From nfrw (“beauty”) +‎ sbk (“Sobek”) in a direct genitive construction, thus literally ‘the beauty of Sobek’. The written form demonstrates honorific transposition. Some authors instead read the name without transposition as sbk-nfrw (“Sobek is perfect”), following the later Greek form Σκεμίοφρις (Skemíophris), but others consider this order of elements a later development. === Pronunciation === (modern Egyptological) IPA(key): /nɛfruː sɛbɛk/ Conventional anglicization: nefru-sobek === Proper noun === f a female given name, Neferusobek ==== Alternative forms ==== === References === Ranke, Hermann (1935), Die ägyptischen Personennamen‎[1], volume 1, Glückstadt: Verlag von J.
