Usage notes
The terms
sḫm and
zššt seem to have at times referred to two different kinds of
sistrum; while the hieroglyph
could always be used in writings for both (though as a
logogram only for
sḫm), the hieroglyph
was originally only used in writings of
zššt, while by the Greco-Roman Period it came to instead be used exclusively with
sḫm.
