Egyptian
Glyph origin
Representing a flowering reed, specifically the panicle of Phragmites australis.[1] From the Old Kingdom on the flowering portion was often represented as striated. Joints in the stem were rarely depicted in the Old Kingdom but later became more frequent. The main (flowering or frond) portion was conventionally colored green, and the stem blue, so consistently that this glyph can be used to tell blue from green on polychrome inscriptions where the paint is discolored or faded.[2] The phonetic value of j is derived by the rebus principle from its use as a logogram for j (“reed”).
Symbol
(j)
- Uniliteral phonogram for j, including as the suffix pronoun .j.
