Huh Hieroglyph Egyptian phonetic glyph ancestor of Infinity symbol

Written in Egyptian phonetic glyphs, Huh is a pair of the 'h' glyph U(1339B) - rope twists - which resemble the modern infinity symbol turned vertically. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.189.9.57 (talk) 10:02, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

It needs to be said.

The Heiroglyph for "Huh" is a guy with both arms raised and shoulders shrugged. Heh heh heh. SamuelRiv (talk) 02:10, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Well, actually the article title should be Heh (heh heh heh). Practically all the sources spell it that way. I suppose I should move the article to that title soon. But yes, the coincidence is mildly amusing. A. Parrot (talk) 03:10, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Image sources

Anybody got some more image sources of depictions of the god? It would really spruce the page up a bit — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucasgrange (talk • contribs) 20:44, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

the personification of infinity or eternity

The assertion that Heh is "the personification of infinity or eternity" isn't sourced. That he might be "eternity" is easy to understand; "infinity" is a rather more abstract concept and claiming them as alternates isn't obviously justified William M. Connolley (talk) 09:46, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

I've added sources and changed text to address this question. Egyptologists don't seem to doubt that the ancient Egyptians had a concept of infinity. A. Parrot (talk) 17:50, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Re: name variant “hoax”

I’ve restored a series of variant transliterations of Heh’s name which were recently deleted citing a possible hoax. I have been in conversation with a friend of the perpetrator of said “hoax” on social media tonight (they were publicizing that their friend couldn’t believe they’d gotten away with adding fake names to an already-humorous Wikipedia article), and determined that the only name variant that was facetiously added by this person was “Hahuh”—which makes sense, as it’s the only variant that adds a consonant to the transliteration, which would to my understanding require a different hieroglyphic rendering. Here are some screenshots the friend provided me of IRC logs including the hoaxer, discussing this article and the vandalism done—to my reading, these logs suggest they were only responsible for “Hahuh”.
