 No such thing.

 I don't know how you can claim one particular spelling, when everyone
 here knows that the Egyptians, like most in the Middle East, did not
 use vowels in their writing systems. Scholars can _guess_ about
 possible pronunciations, but those guesses have changed with the times.
 How you can claim with any semblance of certainty that T-H-T-@ must
 only be pronounced Teh-Hoo-Tee, and never Tah-Hoo-Tee, or even Tow-Hah-
 Tuh, is beyond me.
