Nofret, her name

edit

A similar style name to the two part name of Nfr-t, and of the same time period is Nefertiabet. Her name is "nfr-t, iab-t"... beauty-female... eastern-female. Her article uses: "Beatiful One of the East"....As with Nofret: the easiest way to say it would be Eastern Beauty, or The Eastern Beauty, and for Nofret: The Wise & Beutiful (woman) or ...The Beutiful Wise One (leaving out the "king" part of 'nsw-r(kh)-t', (the nsw)... I think in could be a good idea to put some alternative "meanings" in some cases.

The Eastern Beauty, implies she is a 'woman', and for a guy, (from the East)(not done of course) it would be: The Eastern Handsome(one).

With the above argument, and if the back of Nofret statue does NOT clarify her name, then her name is like The Eastern Beauty's, and her name should be: "The Kingdom's Wise Beauty" (like I say, from the same Time Period as Nefertiabet)...(from the HotArizona..DesertUSA...Mmcannis (talk) 17:25, 9 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

That's all nice, but people knew what means "nefer", and that this word is realted to "nofret".--Mychele (talk) 15:36, 10 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
So how does the name: Nfr-t get the "o" to "Nofret"? And why isn't her name "Neferet", (or "Nefer-Tee") and is her name pronounced 'Nefer-Tee'?...- (or is it pronounced Nefer-ett(e), (like the feminine "ette", diminutive for Female)....
Why not put apostrophe's: N' f 'r-T(ee), or N' f 'r-eT(Te)-(=N' f 'r'(e)T)....? (from the HotSonoran DesertArizonaUSA).....Mmcannis (talk) 00:31, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
