Comments

For arguments for a reading of 𓁶 as dp (i.e., Schenkel system ṭp), not tp, in Earlier and Late Egyptian, see Daniel A. Werning. 2004. The Sound Values of the Signs Gardiner D1 (Head) and T8 (Dagger). in: Lingua Aegyptia 12, pp. 183–203. DOI: http://doi.org/10.11588/propylaeumdok.00003788.
Building on this research, arguments may point to an earlier, (Pre-?)Old Egyptian development ḏp > dp (Schenkel č̣p > ṭp); see Carsten Peust. 2006. Nochmals zur Lesung der Kopf-Hieroglyphe. Göttinger Miszellen 208, pp.7–8. DOI: http://doi.org/10.11588/propylaeumdok.00002287.
S.D. Schweitzer argued for the traditional tp in: Simon D. Schweitzer. 2011. Zum Lautwert einiger Hieroglyphen. Zeitschrift für Ägyptische Sprache und Altertumskunde 138, pp. 132–149.
For pragmatic reasons, the TLA currently keeps the traditional transliteration tp.
