often the transliteration "sesh" appears, derived from the mistaken reading "sš" propagated in the dictionary and books of e. a. w. budge. this reading is found as a phonetic complement using the signs for "z" and "š", leading to the misunderstanding. however, old kingdom egyptian lacked a distinct sign for the "ẖ" sound and the coptic descendant shows that the original second consonant was indeed the palatalized fricative "ẖ" not the (alveolo-)palatal sibilant "š", ("š" being the pool-lake-basin (hieroglyph) in the egyptian language).
