Coffin of Khnumnakht

Hi all! I need help with translating the text on the Coffin of Khnumnakht (one of the brothers from the "Tomb of Two Brothers"). How would one translate 𓇋𓄪𓐍𓇋𓐍𓇋𓂋 (I made a red line next to it on the photos)? I struggle with this part of the text and see it is all over the coffin. Currently I'm think of jmꜣj jḫ r meaning "Who is worthier than...?" But I don't feel too confident therewith. j**ḫ does not have its normal 𓏛 determinative. And should jḫ not be at the beginning of the clause? But then I start to think of a type of inversion where the author would want to emphasize that Khnumnakht is worthy so it is placed first. Any thoughts on this? After a journey of 3 years, I finally finished Allen's Middle Egyptian Grammar 🥳 and feel confident in starting to translate Egyptian text outside of the Textbook. This is my first "big" translation project. Pretty exciting! 🤩 So, I'm still new to this and nay assistance would be helpful.

Thank you in advance!

Autotranslit applied.

It needs some improvements and fixes but it basically works. It pulls proper transliteration from an egyptological database
