Egyptian
Etymology
nꜣy (demonstrative determiner) + .f (“his”) + ꜥꜣw (plural of ꜥꜣ (“great (one)”)) + rwḏ (“to be firm, to prosper”) + (.w) (masculine plural stative ending), thus literally ‘his great ones are prospering’, with ‘his great ones’ referring to his ancestors. Alternatively, it is possible that ꜥꜣw is not the plural of ꜥꜣ here but the abstract noun meaning ‘greatness’, thus ‘his greatness is prospering’; either interpretation is plausible.
