Notes
ii m Htp (MDC)/ ēē em ḥotep or ii em ḥotep (transliteration into phonetics): Come in peace, return safely (what it means)
I have given an acceptable transliteration but all over the world people write Egyptian slightly different
For more help on phonetics check out Alphabet>uniliterals
ii can be written many ways ēē, ii or even y but it's a long e sound
w is normally translated to u but at the beginning of a word sometimes it's w. Either is ok.
ḥ is a hard h sound a bit in the back of the throat.
i and ȧ are interchangeable it is like a iah sound, but quick emphasis on ah. If that is too hard it is ok to translate i as an i. but in the beginning of worst it's more of an ah and everywhere else it's more of an e.
y is normally a long ē
