Note – in ‘computer’ transliteration of Egyptian language, the T and t are different. If they were being handwritten the t would be t and the T would be a t with a little line underneath. t is pronounced t and T is pronounced tj. That’s why nTr becomes pronounced as netjer. This is the most technically correct, but most people know what you mean if you use NTR or ntr. to mean netjer.
