Best Answer

Ancient Egyptian scripts (hieroglyphic, hieratic and demotic) do not record any vowels, only consonants. When these words were read in ancient times, the reader knew which vowels to include, but nobody alive today can do that so we can only guess at the pronunciation of most words.

The ancient Egyptian language has several words meaning wisdom:

rx xt (x is a sound like clearing the throat that does not exist in English)

SsA (S is sh and the A is a catch in the throat, another sound not found in English)

sAt

sAA

sArt

The determinative used at the end of all these words is the tied papyrus role, which indicates abstract ideas.
