pr-ḥḏ
Egyptian
Etymology
pr (“house”) + ḥḏ (“silver”) in a direct genitive construction, thus ‘house of silver’. However, this may be a reanalysis, and the name may have originally been intended as pr (“house”) + ḥḏ (“white”), thus ‘white house’, in contrast to the treasury of Lower Egypt, pr-dšr (literally “the red house”).
