What is a Egyptian word that starts with o?

There isn't a common Egyptian word that starts with "o". The Egyptian language, in its ancient form, used a different alphabet and didn't have an "o" sound.

However, there are several Egyptian words that start with "O" in English transliterations, due to how their sounds were interpreted by scholars. Here are some examples:

* Osiris: A prominent god in Egyptian mythology.

* Obelisk: A tall, four-sided, tapering monument with a pyramidal top, often found in ancient Egypt.

* Orpheus: A legendary Greek musician and poet, whose story was sometimes integrated into Egyptian mythology.

It's important to note that these words are borrowed into English from Ancient Greek and are not actually "Egyptian" words in the strict sense.

If you're interested in learning more about the Egyptian language, I recommend researching the hieroglyphic script and its pronunciation.
