Some texts look better than others and inscriptions on walls tend to look very different to texts in manuscripts. In general, hieroglyphs form neat columns or rows of signs that represent many different physical things: buildings, animals, humans, pots, waterways, foodstuffs, plants and tools - and much more.

These signs represent not only sounds but also concepts and activities; learning to read them takes considerable time and effort.

David is originally a Hebrew name, not Egyptian and in its original form it was pronounced Dawid, meaning "one who is loved".The Ancient Egyptian language does not include the letter "v", and there is no word like dwd in Egyptian. If you take the English translation of the name and look for something similar in Egyptian, you might chose mrwty meaning "the well-loved" - since only the consonants were written in hieroglyphs, we can not know how this word was originally pronounced.
