sḫm(“power, powerful”) + jr(“do, act”) + .f(third-person masculine singular suffix pronoun); the exact interpretation is not altogether clear. Taking sḫm as a noun and jr.f as a modifier, a meaning such as ‘acting power’ is sometimes suggested;[1] this, however, fails to explain the suffix pronoun, which rather suggests an interpretation of jr as a relative form instead of a participle, in which case the sense would be something like ‘the power that he makes’. Alternatively, some have taken sḫm as a participle and jr as a writing of the noun jrw(“visible form”) for an overall sense of ‘powerful of visible form’.[2]
