Signature glyphs for members

Historical Thread

For those who would like a graphical 'signature' for their Ancient Expressions posts

For those who would like a graphical 'signature' for their Ancient Expressions posts - if one appeals, please leave a message at the Glyph and if the glyph has not already been chosen by someone else, it will be reserved for your sole use :)

Venissa Julia's idea to note down the specific information about the glyph was an excellent one and I've adopted that here using the information from listings provided in James P. Allen's book Middle Egyptian, pps. 423-448. Please note that these are quotes.
