A hieroglyph used as a logogram defines the object of which it is an image. Logograms are therefore the most frequently used as nouns; they are always accompanied by a mute vertical stroke indicating their status as a logogram; in theory, all hieroglyphs would have the ability to be used as logograms. Logograms can also be accompanied by phonetic complements.
Bet, Beth, Beh, or Vet means "house" in various Semitic languages (Arabic bayt, Akkadian bฤซtu, bฤtu, Hebrew: bayฤซแนฏ, Phoenician bฤt etc.; ultimately all from Proto-Semitic *bayt-), and appears to derive from an Egyptian hieroglyph of a houseย
