" slumber in the Couch Islands which are located in the Mancave Archipelago! "
I like that bit of geography.

True about the cartouche, spoox, but hey everyone likes to pretend they're regal Also, no argument that emojis are sort of vague, but people like them and they are part of the current vernacular. The content of the cartouche wouldn't be a name, it'd be a description of the person in some way."I've had a business idea to make jewelry where the Egyptian cartouche is populated with emojis rather than heiroglyphs. Someone's probably doing it already, but I think it'd be a hot seller."
No doubt--but the cartouche was originally used only for a royal name, and the modern jewelry that used some simplified version of the Egyptian alphabet to spell out names like Valerie or Theodore (no "V" or "Th" sounds or letters in Egyptian) winds up akin to those
beautiful Chinese tattoos people get that mean "soup". Better an English language rebus like on the old Concentration game show than emojis.
Emojis are sort of vague pictograms more similar to native American petroglyphs than really how Ancient Egyptian really worked.
And the majority of the papyri was written in hieratic, not hieroglyphs:
So you see the written language is even more removed from the idea that hieroglyphs are simply pictograms like emojis.
Same with German and the English "Th" sound. Hence Germans typically pronouncing English words containing "th" with "Z". I didn't start speaking English until I was 6-7 years old and had to go to speech therapy to overcome that hurdle. It was tough. The toungue is very strong muscle with a very stubborn memory.Yeah, language is a funny thing. I have many Pilipino friends here in Las Vegas, and back in LA. In Tagalog, there is no F sound. So somehow when the soldiers went to the Phillipines, they acquired the Ph or F sound, which they don't even have in their language. So to them it's the Pilipines and they're Pilipino. Not Flip anything..... so wars and domination and world conquest can influence language. Right??
