Quite possibly - I don't read Egyptian, it isn't a term I use every day, I was knackered when I was typing. Don't bother checking, if you checked then I'm sure you got it right. And personally I have no idea where the silent "a" goes (other than you having just told me, I know...), or why it's in there at all.
