The prenomen is wrong. Sigh. So many of the names of Egyptian kings here at Wikipedia are either wrong, incomplete, or mistranslated.

Exactly what is the concern? I see that Maa has been mistransliterated Maat... but is there anything besides that wrong with it? Thanatosimii 03:19, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

The king's prenomen is mAa-xrw-rA, not mAa-snw-rA as written here. Somebody has replaced the oar glyph (xrw = Kheru) in the cartouche with the arrowhead glyph (sn = Sen).

hmm... good catch. Thanatosimii 21:16, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
