Glyph origin
Representing a reed mat or a stool of reed matting; presumably the original depiction was a mat. Ordinarily this glyph is taller than it is wide, and, if colored, colored green. Thus, forms from the Old Kingdom often show the details of the weave of the reeds in a bright green. From the Old until the New Kingdom it was occasionally stylized as a rectangle with a shaded left half and unshaded right half. The phonogrammatic value of is derived by the rebus principle from its use as a logogram for.
