Sound l is written as either π n or π r, probably because the alphabet was created based on a dialect whose l was merged into n or r.
In hieratic script, π j and π ± w are usually abbreviated as π and π² respectively.
π will be written if the j sound is at the beginning of a word, or itβs after a stressed vowel.
π will be written if the j sound is before a stressed vowel.
In Middle Egyptian, pronunciation of π z became s, so that π΄ and π can be used interchangeably. Pronunciation of π became Κ as well.
In Late Egyptian, not only π j but also π t, π r, and π ± w became pronounced as Κ after a stressed vowel. πΏ c and π Ι were often merged into π t and π§ d respectively. π§ d, π Ι, and πΌ g were gradually being merged into π t, πΏ c, and π‘ k respectively.
