Hieroglyphs do not include any sign representing an eagle (this is a common error on many poorly-researched and misleading websites).
There is a sign representing the Egyptian vulture, which stands for the consonant sound 3, or aleph, a glottal stop which is sometimes written as a in translations but it does not represent the English vowel a. The aleph sound also occurs frequently in Hebrew and Arabic.
A very similar sign represents a buzzard which has the sound-value tw (particularly at the end of words).
Another similar sign has the addition of a single feather projecting from the bird's chest; the sign represents the guinea fowl and has the sound value nH.

But nothing could could be done to reduce the height of river which every few years would sweep away houses,stock and leave behind death and the danger of disease from rotting carcasses of animals and the unfortunate people caught in its fury.
Disease could also be carried by plagues of mosquito's in the time of inundation that carried the Malaria virus and Nile Valley fever.
Parasitic worms that can hardly be seen but thrive in the water could cause premanant damage to the stomach and intestines if those who were infested.
