- In the hieroglyphic letter there is a symbol, (attached in the comments) personifying the hoopoe. The phonetic equivalent of "Db". In some sources - "hd"
- The bird itself in ancient Egyptian is called the word ḏbȝw, which means “crowned”, “crowned”
- The hoopoe was well known in ancient Egypt, often depicted on the paintings in the tombs. It was believed that the bird would be able to take care of the owner of the tomb during the transition to the world of the dead, full of dangers, since the hoopoe was associated with divine light. This is because hoopoes (like many other birds) love to sunbathe.
- The hoopoe was also seen as a symbol of family ties - the image of a child holding this bird in his hands indicates that the boy was the heir and successor of his father
- In some fairy tales, the hoopoe is mentioned as a friend and ally of the falcon
- The blood of the hoopoe was considered a magical agent and was used as an ingredient for making amulets, medicines (applied to the eyes to create visions) and magic potions, mostly love spells

Well, my modest image of the Nef, surrounded by stylized papyrus stalks. The crowned bird seems to arouse nothing but gastronomic interest in her.
