I find the association between the t3 glyph (hatchling) and the
electric catfish interesting. It's attested in connection with chisel
and engraving in a few words. The word t3y itself meaning chisel
as in engraving or sculpting.
I think, based on the evidence, that the name "narmer" is incorrect. The narmer name should read Bu-kulu (Horus/Hrw/Khulu) Nyishi.

Hr nar-mr TA
Horus Nar-mer tsha. The meaning or purpose of the added sign is unknown.
Reinterpretation:
Bu-Kulu MuShipa Tush, [Tushia > Tusi, Tushi = eel]
The Egyptian script is syllabic. The catfish and the chizzle in this case represents the sounds shi and pa (ib not mr). Mushipa means fish. Remember Nyishi means "electric catfish." Tusi, Tushi, Tush means "eel" in modern ciLuba, but more than likely referred to the electric charge of the eel or the burst of energy, thus why the frantic bird "determinative"; with the tsha (tusi) value.
Either way you have electric catfish, which is more than likely Powerful Catfish. All referring to a people who lived in the "south" K3s/Kush/Nhsy (Nyishi)
