This is Hoch's selection from Gardiner's list of Egyptian hieroglyphic signs. From an artist's point of view this is one of the more interesting groups. Whenever in doubt for drawing an animal an hieroglyph sign can do. At least for starters. Birds are another great group for that reason. Hoch uses thirty-five of these signs to teach his class and that covers the entire range. The italic letters with marks around them are transliteration symbols that suggest sounds. It's phonic and so oblivious to homonyms. When used to communicate via computer the little marks are forfeited so they're even worse as descriptors. 

JSesh has many more signs than Gardiner collected. Most of the time their values are not listed and that makes us suppose they have the same value the basic sign has. These are all elaborations on the regular sign and you see the groups repeated.
