Ancient Egyptian word for the harp.
There were several variants of the harp in ancient Egypt, varying in size and nuber of strings. One detail they all had in common was that they lacked the front pillar of the modern harp. This is typical of harps from the middle east and indicates that the string tension was considerably lower than on modern instruments.
