This is easy, we know that "Ounof" = joyful and by using synonyms, we also get: rejoice, joy, gladness, happy, merry...

rompe = year

moui = new (adjective)

Now, in the Mdu Ntr, the ordinary adjective always follows the noun it modifies; rompe (the noun) moui (the adjective) - thus we have, and we say to you and to everyone:

Ounof Rompe Moui! (Wen'ohf Rohm'pay M'wee)

P.S. Of course if you would want to write "Happy New Year" 'technically' and therefore more obscure you would write;
Wnf Rmp.t Mwj

Ounof Rompe Moui! (Wen'ohf Rohm'pay M'wee)

The expression "blessing(s)" is derived from the Ancient Egyptian ontological notions of the Ba + Ra + Ka and is thus:

Baraka = blessing, to bless

This word has (as have so many others) been adopted into the Arabic language with the same meaning; some other words derived from the Mdu Ntr are:

Moses = he is born of...

Mary = my beloved

Onofrio (Italian) = from "Osiri Won Noufr" or "Osiris the original Good/perfection" ; an example is actor Vincent Phillip D'Onofrio (Pyle in Full Metal Jacket and Det. Robert Goren in Law & Order: Criminal Intent.)

Barakai, Honi B - "my blessings, Honi B..."
