Usage notes
The determinative is one of two unique characters, the first depicting the god in the form of a falcon, riding in a bark with an elaborate prow, and the second depicting a bark with an antelope’s head at the prow and at the stern. Neither of these characters are contained within Gardiner’s sign list.
