I was just wondering about pronunciation to do the same! Would it be nehd-jehm with the ‘j’ pronounced like in ‘gem’? Or would it be nehd-yehm? With the ‘j’ sounding like a ‘y’? My instinct says the first for ancient Egyptian, but pronunciation of things can surprise us
Well then, in the interest of historical accuracy, which I usually adhere to in all other things except cat names, my guess would be that the J is pronounced like a Y.
Im naming my next cat Nedjem!

I’d just call them NEDJ-em, or Nedg, Probably Nedgy would get a lot of play, too. It doesnt have to be correct, its not a test in ancient Egyptian.
Fair enough, I just like languages so I’m more interested to satisfy my own curiosity, haha

I just like the sound of the other way better.
