If biblical Pishon is identical to the Nile and there exists a phonetic connection to 𓎛 𓊪 𓈘 / 𓎛 𓂝 𓊪 𓈗 there are two explanations:

  1. 𓎛 𓊪 𓈘 has to be read in reverse, as was the case with King names: 𓈘 𓊪 𓎛 Piḫoⁿ ⋍ Pichon ⋍ Pishon
  2. 𓎛 𓂝 𓊪 𓏮 𓈘 has to be analyzed with regional prefixes and suffixes:
    a. Ha being a semitic article, as also used in Hiddekel •HaDicle < Tigriˢ ☑
    b1. The unexplained 'shon' in may be a combination of endings 𓏮 𓈘 -s -on similar IE noun markers
    b2. The unexplained 'shon' in Pishon may be a phonetic component 𓈘 ⋍ 水河 shuiⁿ ⋍ 江 gong Ganges kong jiang shon
    𓈙 ⋍ 𓏯 𓈘 𓈇 ☑ !?
