Usage notes

This word is found rendered in a line of hieratic writing in the middle of a mostly Demotic-script text, accompanied by the Old Coptic gloss ⲁⲃⲣⲁⲥⲁⲝ (abrasaks). As such, it is hard to say whether it should be taken as an archaizing representation of Demotic or as code-switching to earlier Egyptian.
