Thank you, Sank, for the welcoming, and thank you so much more for the help with the grouping! I suspected that that might have been the grouping for that expression, but this was merely from my looking at hieroglyphs and deciding what might have looked "right." I'm also eager to look into the hieroglyph lessons, if I can find them... I'm still a bit flustered with the many navigation paths on this website!

Thank you so much too, Neb! I'm so glad you both gave me a fairly detailed investigation into it all. It was extremely helpful. Neb, this may seem like an obvious question, but I noticed that the images you used were facing left...Since the Re grouping is facing right, and hieroglyphs were usually written right-to-left, I'm guessing I could simply switch those around to be read right-to-left as well?

Thanks for the name compliment :-) I think the vulture is a bit more visually pleasing than the open-palm, but is there one version which would be the more "common" way Ria might be written?

Having Re before "Beloved of.." would've been the biggest mistake I'd make without your help. It does seem to make more sense for it to be the other way around. Thanks for that!

I'm a bit stuck deciding which version of "beloved of" to use. I'd love an opinion on that. I don't know if either way is more "common" or "ancient," also?

As for Isis, I'm grateful for your explanation about the most common way to write it, but I'm wondering also about the image I had at http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/gods/img/1isis.jpg of her name. I hate to ask, but do you know what those images mean and why they are written that way? Which version is more... how should I say... genuine? I notice the same Throne sign and Bread Cake, but why the image of a woman, and a serpent (I believe it is?)? I find that more visually pleasing than the egg, but I'd like to understand the way that one is written, and I also am not sure as to how that specific writing of Isis would be grouped vertically.

I'm sorry if any of this has been an inconvenience. THANK YOU ALL once more! I would never have figured any of this out or learned much about it without your gracious help!
