jtwny-rẖ-yh
Egyptian
Etymology
Schneider reconstructs the name as Northwest Semitic *ʾadōnī-rōʿē-yāh, "My lord is the shepherd of Yah", with *-yāh being an abbreviated form of the divine name Yahweh. Shalomi-Hen concurs on the first two elements, but instead opts to identify *-yāh as the topographic term yhwꜣ, attested to during the 13th century BCE, whose relationship to the theonym is still debated.
