The glyphs for the `nekhta' (`a strong, mighty man', `strong of arm', `a god') part of the name written in singular.

Comments: On the basis of the hieroglyphic reading of the 5th Horus name of Ramses III. and the way they correlate by both, Wallis Budge and Henri Gauthier, we find the `loaf of bread' hieroglyphic for the letter `t' present, but not the `palm fond' for the letter `i' which lately some seem to imply. Therefore it seems the partial reading of the whole name, `Nekhtaneb' or `Nectaneb', is still valid.
