Extended Gardiner codes and phonetic values
I'm currently working on expanding the basic Gardiner categories with the extended glyph repertoire of the Aegyptus font. But it seems the font doesn't assign a Gardiner code to the extended unicode glyphs and PUA.
Can you suggest such a database I can use?

Translation verbatim.
It's been now about 7 months since I ve started my journey in Egyptian Glyphs and up to now it seems to me that the preferred way of translating from Egyptian to English is almost verbatim,word by word.
Being able to speak three languages (my native and two other) and having experience with three or four more that strikes me as very odd.
Anyone that speaks at least a second language knows that translation word by word doesn't work. You have to be flexible to translate and what s important are not the exact words themselves but to convey the meaning ,the nuances,the idea, the cultural shades to another language.And to do that you have to often use totally different words and phrasing.
I don't know why but it seems that translation from Egyptian to English almost word by word is the preferred and established way which is the wrong way.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
