Talk:Mut

How to pronounce Mut?

I am curious as to how "Mut" would be pronounced - like "mutt" or "moot" or some other way? Jedikaiti (talk) 18:56, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's a perennial issue with Egyptian terms. We don't know for certain how Egyptian words were pronounced, particularly the vowels, which weren't written down. Linguists can reconstruct pronunciations to some extent, but I don't know much about the results of their work. In the case of Mut, her name was written mwt, probably with some unwritten vowels between the consonants. Egyptian "w" was a consonant that only in some cases was pronounced like a long "u". In modern writing of Egyptian words, the ancient "w" is turned into a "u" if it makes it easier for us to pronounce—hence the modern name Mut. If you're asking about how the name is supposed to be pronounced in English, I'm really not sure. User:The Man in Question claims there's a conventional system for pronouncing Egyptian names in English but hasn't pointed to a source that proves it. A.

Phallic spelling

A naive user deleted my addition of an alternate spelling as "obvious vandalism." (This is why I wished I could have added a screenshot of the still under copyright Faulkner lexicon.) What's relevant to inscriptional comprehension isn't the penis; it's the lack of the w. Additionally, same gives credit to our pronunciation as "mut" rather than "mawet" or somesuch.
