Egyptian

Glyph origin

Representing a man with his arms raised. This and other glyphs depicting men conventionally color the skin red; the hair is typically black, and the clothing white (sometimes with black outlines or details).

Symbol

1. Determinative meaning "supplicate", such as in dwꜣ (“praise”).
2. Determinative meaning "hide", such as in sdgꜣ (“be hidden”), and jmn (“hide”).

Usage notes

This glyph's usage is closely aligned with the usage of 𓀢 (). Compare also 𓀄 (), which was similar in early depictions (before c. the 18th Dynasty, when that figure started to be depicted crouching behind a wall).
