It is likely that the Egyptian Yarsu is the name for Hyksos warriors. It is also possible that it is what they called the king at one time.
I'm doing an ABC project about ancient Egypt and i need a word that starts with Y and i found Yarsu which is a Syrian chief who was a great leader.
It is difficult to know which word you mean without seeing the hieroglyphic version. Hieroglyphs did not record vowels, so the "a" and the "u" can not be correct; this leaves yrs, but there is no such word in Egyptian.If you substitute w for the u, you get yrsw, but there is still nothing like that in Egyptian.Leaving out the y, you get rsw and there are many different words written in that way:rsw + the "town" determinative = the south landrsw + the "sail" determinative = the south windrsw + the "eye" determinative = to watch, to guardrsw = vigilance (connected with previous word)
Years, or yarn.
