Since hieroglyphs did not include vowels there is no word written "nu". There are many words written with the two consonants nw:
- nw...................to see, to look
- nw...................this, these
- nw...................hunter
- nw...................weakness
- nw...................time, for a while
- nw...................to be weak
- nw...................time
- nw...................of, belonging to
Each of these words is written in a different way and its meaning is clarified by a particular "determinative" sign placed at the end.
