Sobekhotep is Egyptian & it means "Sobek is satisfied". Also the name of a number of pharaohs.

Oh, thanks for the explanation. So are you interested in Ancient Egypt?

Well, in the "Egyptologist" pronunciation, but do you know the original transcription?

The original transcription is sbkḥtp. No vowels, of course. By Middle Egyptian those consonants probably would have been pronounced something like [sbkʰħtʰpʰ].

According to Loprieno, the Ancient Egyptian reading for the active participle of ḥtp would've been /'ḥa:tip/, becoming ['ħo:təp] by the Middle Egyptian period. (Based on Coptic data, he doesn't consider Middle Egyptian voiceless stops to be aspirated in posttonic position.) The Greek transcription Σοῦχος suggests a Late Egyptian ?['so(:)βək(ʰ)] which in turn would derive from Ancient Egyptian /'sa(:)bVk/. [The /V/ in this transcription represents the fact that the value of the unstressed vowel is not recoverable in this instance.]

The stress goes on the first syllable? I always imagined it would be on the last.

Do we know what the stress rules were for Egyptian?

While I'm here, I have to ask what the Amharic in your signature says. I doubt I can find a decent online translator for that language.

Mottoes

Aksumite coins used a number of mottoes throughout the period in which they were minted, beginning in the early 4th century. Around this time, numerous anonymous bronze coins with simply Βασιλεύς (Basileus, "King") on the obverse were minted by either King Ezana or one of his successors. The coins bore the first example of an Aksumite motto on the reverse, "May this please the people" (Greek TOYTOAPECHTHXWPA). It was later written in unvocalized Ge'ez as "ለሐዘበ ፡ ዘየደአ" LʾḤZB ZYDʾ and under King Kaleb also "ለሀገረ ፡ ዘየደአ" LHGR ZYDʾ, "may this please the city [country]." Similar mottoes were used by other kings. Coins of the early 7th century Emperor Armah had inscribed on the back "ፈሰሐ ፡ ለየከነ ፡ ለአዘሐበ" FŚḤ LYKN LʾḤZB (vocalization: ፍሥሓ ፡ ለይኲን ፡ ለአሕዛብ ፡ fiśśiḥā la-yikʷin la-'aḥzāb, "Gladness let there be to the peoples").[16]

As well as we know what the consonants were. In Coptic, we see some pretty dramatic alternations in inflected forms (e.g. '/nutə/ "god", pl. /'ntajr/ or /'nteʔrə/). It only makes sense to ascribe these in part to variations in stress dating back to the Middle Egyptian or earlier.

Then copy-paste it to Google.

But these are all stressed on the first syllable. Do you mean the stress shifted?

I wonder if our friend ElfoEscuro is into Afro-Asiatics now.
