Writing Systems of the World 2, Exercise 2: your own rebus spellings

Sample answers (my own, not from a source; yours will differ):

1. Picture of a bee + picture of a leaf, read "bee" + "leaf", writes "belief".
   A determinative could be a small sign meaning "thought or feeling", so a
   reader knows the word is abstract and not a bee and a leaf.

2. Picture of an eye, read "I", writes the pronoun "I" (the hieroglyphs article's
   own example is the eye sign used for the sound of the pronoun). A
   determinative marking "person" would separate it from the word "eye".

The point of a determinative, per the articles, is that it is silent: it is
not pronounced, it only tells the reader which kind of word the sounds
spell, which matters because many words are homophones.
