In hieroglyphs the word for the constellation of Orion is spelled out sAH - these are three consonants, where A is a glottal stop. We can never know how this word was pronounced in the ancient Egyptian language.

The name may be connected with the word for "toe", which is spelled out in the same way, or another similar word meaning "kick".
