Hieroglyphs for "solar barge"

[edit]

What would be the proper hieroglyphs, if there are any known, for Ra's solar barge/barque? I know that the ship had three native names for it (Atet, Mandjet, Mesektet) and the article for Barge lists the following hieroglyphs, but as far as I can tell, the term just generally refers to any boat of the time.

Two of those words are in the Faulkner dictionary, available at Projet Rosette. Use the French term "barque" to get them to come up if these links don't work for you. 70.67.193.176 (talk) 19:33, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
