Hand-with-droplets (hieroglyph)

The hand-with-droplets hieroglyph is a picture that people used to write a long time ago. It looks like a picture of a hand with little drops falling off of it. This picture can mean different things, depending on the context. Sometimes it might mean washing your hands or cleaning something. Other times it might mean sweat or raindrops, or even tears.

Just like how we use letters to make words that represent things, like 'apple' or 'cat', people in the past used pictures like this one to represent words and ideas. The hand-with-droplets hieroglyph was one of many pictures that people could use to write their language, and it's pretty cool to think about how they communicated without using the alphabet like we do now!
