• Source: Hare (hieroglyph)

The ancient Egyptian Hare hieroglyph, Gardiner sign listed no. E34 (𓃹) is a portrayal of the desert hare or Cape hare, Lepus capensis of Egypt, within the Gardiner signs for mammals. The ancients used the name of sekhat for the hare.

The biliteral expresses the sound "oon", or "oonen",; it is also an ideogram for the verb "to be", or "to exist", (i.e. "is", "are", "was", etc.).
The famous Pharaoh Unas, (for his Pyramid texts), is named using the hare hieroglyph. It also appears in the name of Wenamun, a (possibly fictional) priest who appears in a famous history of c. 1000 BCE.
