@Marv The Martian, yes, I speak Egyptian arabic, instead of saying "I love you" we say "Kos amok", which means "you will forever be in my heart" and that's beautiful.
I don't think anyone knows what ancient Egyptian sounded like. The people who translated probably saw a hieroglyphic of a cat and called it the Egyptian Mau.
Believe it or not I'm Egyptian... The Egyptian word for cat is "ota." Unless this is ancient Egyptian then I have no clue XD
