It may be of interest to a few that this word is unusual in that the
'laryngeals' normally appear in Egyptian as <j> or <h> but in this one word,
it seems to appear as <x> (I.e. hook-h): <xnt(y)>.

================

There is a coincidence between
PIE *H2ent-i
and
Egyptian *x_n_t "

But these two words are unconnected
because *x is generally PIE *k
and PIE *t should be *s

So nothing useful can come out of this.
