The 'Tj' is probably pronounced something like 'ch' as in 'cheese'.
That's the general word for 'river'; the spelling would appear to have been taken from Papyrus Leyden 344, Admonitions of an Egyptian Sage.
"Spelling," you remark? I thought that Hieroglyphics were, in a sense, like Chinese characters: individual characters represent ideas, as opposed to a conglomeration of letters, which also represent ideas.

So did Young; that's why Champollion cracked hieroglyphs first. :p
There are roughly four categories of hieroglyph: uniliteral, equating to roughly one letter or sound. for example, 'k', 'i', etc.; biliteral, representing two of our sounds, for example 'sd', 'ab', etc.; triliteral, being three, (e.g. 'ankh'); and determinatives, which are more symbolic, and tend to be used to represent the type of word being written (in a very broad category). These aren't clear-cut, though. Sometimes determinative/ideographic symbols can read as letters, and sometimes characters that are also literal or phonographric can function as determinatives or idiograms.

My goodness, Darathy. How long did it take you to learn this?
Uh, that was preliminary work for my first ever lecture on Hieroglyphs. :p

I meant it in the sense that you measure your studies in years or decades? :xp:
Seriously, though, Egypt in general is an amazing area, in both a historical and geographical context: every empire that is worth remembering (in the West) has controlled Egypt, if that says anything about the region. But I need not explain that to you. :p
Erm, I've been studying Egypt since I was 18. So a little over a decade, now...
Stop making me feel old, gorram it! :p
YOU'RE OLD, DARATHY
Also what is my name in HIEROGLYPHICS. Also what is a sandbank in those same letters.
So, IRL, InSidious is Daniel Jackson.
The banks are gonna fail, keep your sand in your mattress.

Harry Lime: Nobody thinks in terms of human beings. Governments don't. Why should we? They talk about the people and the proletariat, I talk about the suckers and the mugs - it's the same thing. They have their five-year plans, so have I.
Martins: You used to believe in God.
Harry Lime: Oh, I still do believe in God, old man. I believe in God and Mercy and all that. But the dead are happier dead. They don't miss much here, poor devils.

Samunr Drafis is about the best I could come up with at the moment. 'nr' is sometimes used in Late Egyptian for 'l', since they had no hieroglyph for it. Probably, they had some pronunciation difficulties with 'n', 'r' and 'l'.
Also: I never knew the old Vienna... (

Oh, and I further advise that Carthage ought to be destroyed. It's harbouring SANDBANKS, you know.
But it's got OLIPHAUNTS, Darathy! OLIPHAUNTS!
