 Names 

With regard to Nibhurrereya, the reconstructed form of this name would probably be along the lines of *nib-xuperwə-ˡre:ʕə (Ancient Egyptian: A Linguistic Introduction, Loprieno, 1995).  This reconstruction reflects the neutralization of posttonic vowels and the change /ˡi/ > /ˡe/, which Loprieno indicates occurred early in the new kingdom.

While I'm at it, I'd like to call for the following change to be made (slightly modified from my previous appeal):

The article gives a reconstruction of his name as *tuwt-ʕankh-jama:n. However, the Coptic descendent of twt (""image"") is ⲧⲟⲩⲱⲧ indicating that  would have been pronounced something like *tVˡwa:t (Ancient Egyptian: A Linguistic Introduction, Loprieno, 1995; Die Nominalbildung Des Aegyptischen, Osing, 1976), where V is an undetermined vowel (one of e, a, or u in Tut's time). Likewise `nx (""living"") here is an active participle, probably perfective, so the reconstruction of this should be *ʕa:nəx, including the effect of posttonic vowel neutralization (Loprieno, 1995). As for ""jama:n"", Loprieno indicates that the change j > ʔ before an unstressed vowel began in the early Middle Kingdom. This suggests that jama:n was realized as ʔama:n by the time of Tutankhamun.  I therefore propose the reconstruction of his name be changed from *tuwt-ʕankh-jama:n to *tVwa:t-ʕa:nəx-ʔaˡma:n, where V is a vowel of undetermined quality.  I have no idea where ""tuwt"" and ""ʕankh"" came from.  These just look like modified Egyptologistese to me.   192.133.84.6  "
