Kemetic Greetings

Em Hotep: Come in Peace / Leave in Peace

Nini: Greetings

ii-wey: welcome

Ankh Udja Seneb: Life, Prosperity & Health, it can be abbreviated to AUS, 𓋹𓍑𓋴

Iiti: Hello

Senebti: Farewell

Nefer Sedjmek: May you hear beautiful things (I use this as a blessing)

Dua: Praise, sometimes slang for thanks. 𓇼𓄿𓀃

Dua.ten: Thank you (in a plural sense, I believe this can be used as a gender neutral way of saying thanks.)

Dua.ta or Dua. tja: Thank you/ femimine

Dua.ek: Thank you/ masculine

You can also go a bit more formal with NEHEM instead of DUA with the following of ten, tja or ta, or ek for genders listed above. Usually DUA I see used for the Neteru as praise.

Hy: Hail

Hy.en.ek: Hail to Thee. (I am assuming you could go with Hy.en.ten or Hy.en.tja for genders here as well.)

i/a: O!

iA/ a’a: O!

Hst.tw nTrw: May the gods bless you

Hst.tw nTrwt: May the goddesses bless you

Em heset (hst) net neteru: May you be in favour of the gods. (you can replace Neteru with a specific god as well: em hst net Set for an example.)

The hieroglyph for Neteru is: 𓊹

I listed these as I felt the first few are the more common ones being said and heard, while the later half are ones I included as I felt you could use them in your own prayers and blessings should you wish to write your own.

Here is the website I used: https://seshkemet.weebly.com/egyptian-sayings.html it has a ton more you can see, and a guide on how to pronounce them. Take a look at the other things the website has, it has great resources for you to learn from.

Gardiner’s list of hieroglyphs is a good place to start: You’ll see in your academic research sometimes where the Egyptologist will refer to certain hieroglyphs as “C7” and it’s pertaining to Gardiner’s list. It’ll help you identify what they mean.

I wish you the best 𓄤𓆑𓂋𓂈𓅓𓎡
