The ancient Egyptian Sun-shining-with-rays hieroglyph, Gardiner sign listed no. N8, is a portrayal of the 'sun, with rays shining down from it'; it commonly is portrayed with 3-rays; older versions may have 4-rays, and an equivalent version is closer in form to the hieroglyph for the faience necklace (hieroglyph), Gardiner no. S16, with ''elongated'' 3-rays, In the Egyptian language, the ''sun-with-rays hieroglyph'' is used as an ideogram, determinative, and phoneme.〔Betrò, 1995.
