The Egyptians called hieroglyphics mdw nTr, which means "divine words." Since vowels weren't written, it's hard to know exactly how this was pronounced. Capital 'T' represents a sort of 'ch' sound, and Egyptologists conventionally insert the vowel 'e' between consonants and treat 'w' as a 'u'. Under this scheme the pronunciation is "medu netcher."
