So is it spelt Pepi II or Pepy II? - Malimar
It could be either, or both. Scholars don't know what the vowel sounds the egyptians used so it is standard practice to place the vowel sound 'ee' in the unknown space. Therefore it can be spelt Pepi or Pepy as the letters 'i' and 'y' both can be used to make an 'ee' sound.
