Simple point beyond you too, Audrey?

Here, for your convenience, as I put it to Femano:

Quote

Your “knowledge” of the “physical graphics” and their phonetic values comes entirely from Egyptologists—and here you are “knowing better” than the people who all but spoonfed you the info. If Egyptologists got the reading wrong, why are you relying on them (as you are) for the reading?

Femano depends entirely on Egyptology for his “knowledge” of how to read the name. He relies on it for knowledge of the script as a system. If Egyptology is wrong about the system, then he shouldn’t use any of it. If he claims that Egyptology is wrong about the system, then he shouldn’t use any of it.

Beginning to get the idea?
