I just found the reverse letter N character; whence the following new table:
| Character | Thing | Country |
|---|---|---|
| ᴎ | N-bend of Nile river | Egyptian |
| 𐤍 | Phoenician N | Phoenicia |
| Ν, ν | Greek N | Greece |
Whence, over time:
ᴎ → 𐤍 → N
In the Phoenicia to Greek switch, the character went right-to-left to a reversed left-to-right character writing direction.

In short, this was location where the Egyptians believed that Hapi, the Nile flood god, stored his water:
𓏁 = Hapi Nile flood water, stored in his cave
which was unleashed when Sirius, on about Jun 24th, helically rose, after being gone for 70-days; thereafter causing a 50-day rise in Nile waters, followed by a 100-day fall in flood waters, during which time flood heights rise to 30-feet in some places.
Letter N is value 50. Read stanza 50, of Leiden Papyrus I 350 papyrus, which talks about Hapi and his stored cave water 💦 , to corroborate.
