The ancient Egyptian word for "lion" is written with the picture of a standing lion (with a mane, so male). It is sometimes written out with signs spelling mAi, where the A and i are consonants not found in English. Sometime the word rw is used instead, written with a sphinx-like lion and a short vertical stroke.
