Glyph origin

Generally taken to represent a conical loaf of bread, this glyph was conventionally outlined in black or blue, often with white fill and a red inner triangle; compare 𓏏
X1
. Nunn writes that the interpretation of this glyph as bread is questionable: "neither X1 nor X8 is represented as bread on offering tables in funerary scenes"; in e.g. 𓏐
X2
and 𓏑
X3
bread is yellow; and conical bread molds did exist but were rounded: this glyph's shape is more like an angular "funerary cone", but those were white or red.
