Line: Scarecrow sig in Egyptian

Line: Scarecrow sig in Egyptian


   When there was a thread about Egyptian symbols, I asked if 
somebody could make "Scarecrow" in them.  Soeren M Soerries sent me the 
following:

and that's what it looks like:

 scarecrow:

 s        => wrapped cloth
 'k'      => oil lamp
 a        => Egyptian eagle or vulture
 r        => slim mouth
 'o'/'w'  => quail

 bob allison:

 b         => leg
 l         => Egyptian lion
 j,i       => (sorry, no dictionary) German: "Schilfblatt" [ NOT a feather...]
 n         => water

   Well, it looks like I have an Egyptian sig now.
