[edit] Djeser-djeseru

Djeser–DjeserU in hieroglyphs

Not to confuse any of the non-initiated in hieroglyphs, but a simple discussion of Djeser-djeserU" is needed.

The capital U means the plural (at word ending).

Djeser is the word for "holy" or "sacred".

I cannot say where all the later 'religious' names originated, but 'djeser-djeserU' , would be very equivalent to "Holy of holy's", (Holy of Most holy)

"Sacred of the Most sacred," would be another good name.

I am not sure that 'Sublime of the Sublimes' gets the message across.

[edit] Alternate reference

Djeser in hieroglyphs

• Schumann-Antelmi, R., Rossini, S. Illustrated Hieroglyphics Handbook, Ruth Schumann-Antelmi, and Stéphane Rossini, (Sterling Publishing Co, Inc, New York), c 1998. Pg 336, djeser, holy, sacred, ɖśr.

The block of hieroglyphs are: dj-s-r-Determinative (Det.[arm w/ sacred obj.] also =Djeser).

(The block of glyphs is only approximate; the S should be smaller, and under the head of the cobra.)MMcAnnis, YumaAZMmcannis 06:07, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
