No Horizontal Serekh
As far as I know, out in the wild there is not a single horizontal serekh. With de:Modul:Hiero/Cartouche there is a possibility to write any cartouche or serekh even vertically. And there's a template which along with the module documentation I'm willing to port into English. But please answer my question: Which form should be default when calling this template to draw a Horus name without border information? A vertical one with serekh or a horizontal one without. --Vollbracht (talk) 17:00, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
