An alphabet is a set of symbols which are used to represent sounds. Ancient Egyptian heiroglyphs included a number of alphabetic symbols which represented sounds or combinations of sounds. They also, however, included symbols which represented words or concepts. A zigzag horizontal line represented the letter "n" but it also represented the word for water. Such symbols are like the heart in "I (heart) NY". Most words in Ancient Egyptian were spelled alphabetically but often had a determinative sign to show what kind of word it was. It would be like putting a picture of a person bent over after the word "bow" to show that it wasn't something to shoot arrows with, or the front of a boat, or something to tie your shoes with.
