While the cartouche is usually vertical with a horizontal line, if it makes the name fit better it can be horizontal, with a vertical line at the end (in the direction of reading). The Ancient Egyptian word for it was shenu, and it was essentially an expanded shen ring. In Demotic, the cartouche was reduced to a pair of brackets and a vertical line. Of the five royal titularies it was the prenomen, the throne name, and the Son of Ra titulary, the so-called nomen name given at birth, which were enclosed by a cartouche.
The sailfish is the fastest fish in the world â able to swim at a speed of 68mph, followed by the marlin at 50mph. Here is the countdown of the top 10 starting at the bottom and rising. Tarpon. Average speed: 35 mph. Tarpon populate a wide variety of habitats subject only to the suitability of the water temperature.
How fast can fish swim? I seriously question the speeds often given for any fish, especially when Wikipedia and some reputable some encyclopedias claim that sailfish are supposed to be the fastest fish and can hit 60 miles per hour. I once went to several references and online sites looking for Orca speeds. I found a range of speeds from 25 to 35 miles per hour (from here on shortened to mph) on the publications and web sites. None were anywhere near as fast as some the speeds some fish can supposedly attain. Since Orcas can run down, catch, and eat, blue fin tuna, I question all the old, unsubstantiated fish speeds.
