Thanks. Actually, I was looking to transliterate from English to hieroglyphs. The quote is an 18th dynasty blessing..supposedly an inscription from the tomb of Tutankhamun which reads “God be between you and harm in all the empty places you must walk.” I tried doing an online search,but most of the websites translate things phonetically as in “your name on a cartouche.” Consulted Gardiner, but I don’t know enough grammar to do an authentic trasliteration

“the empty places you must walk” is from the Book of the Dead, I believe. The Wiccans (giggle) among others have appropriated it.
