Is -wy the way to make adjectives in Ancient Egyptian (like -awi in Ethiopian Semitic languages?)?

Actually, I see nothing peculiar about these particular images. Large phalli are pretty much a theme in Kemetian art, and depictions of sexual act can be traced back to even before the New Kingdom:
Is this meant to be Senmut and Hatshepsut doing it doggy style?

^^Actually, I have seen various sources which label these tomb depictions of the starving people as "Bedouin". However, non actually state whether or not the Medu-neter actually makes that label.
Unless the actual Kmtwy writing says so, who's to say these were African Beja instead of Asiatic Bedouin?..

^^ You may be correct since I remember reading a reference to a Kemetic artwork supposed to represent emaciated Beja people. Don't know if these are those ones though.
