The ancient Egyptian word for friend was written in hieroglyphs as xnms (that is kh+n+m+s). Vowels were not written, so we can never know how the word was originally pronounced.
The term for a very close friend was written 'k ib (where i indicates a sound not found in English, not the vowel i) - this literally means "familiar to my heart".
