Glyph origin

Representing a canal bordered by banks and dikes. In detailed Old Kingdom depictions the water area is covered with zigzagging ripples,
N36A
. Sometimes the canal is shown curved rather than straight,
N100
, especially in the Old Kingdom. This glyph partly supplanted
N22
(π“ˆ†), its variants
N21
(π“ˆ…) and
N20
(π“ˆ„), and
Aa12
(π“š) as a determinative for cultivated land in the 8th Dynasty, but in this function eventually changed into the form
N23
(π“ˆ‡) in the 11th Dynasty. The water in the canal is conventionally green, or sometimes (lighter) blue; the outline is (darker) blue, perhaps representing mud brick. The phonogrammatic value of mr is derived by the rebus principle from its use as a logogram for mr (β€œcanal”).
