(I'm not an egyptologist.) The Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae has a breakdown of π πππππΉπ΅ππ πΎππ¦ππ / jm.j-rΚΎ-wpw.wt-αΈ₯tp.w-nαΉ―r-m-tκ£-r-αΈr=f / "overseer of apportionments of the god's offering(s) in the entire land" https://tla.digital/lemma/850281 with πΎ / tκ£ / "land" and ππ₯π / r-αΈr / "entire".
So we have most of ππππ»πππΎππ₯πππ / jy.tj-tκ£-r-αΈr-?? / "welcome land entire ??" except for the ππ at the end where I have no idea whether it's phonetic αΈ₯r=f or a determinative https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%F0%93%88%90 or something else.
What a time to be alive: my iPhone has enough Unicode coverage to display hieroglyphics⦠imagine thinking two decades ago that you could use disk space on a mobile device like that.

I think the =f at the end is a possessive, because r αΈr=f is an idiomatic phrase literally meaning βto its limitβ.

Did you forget about the π or does it get merged into the preceding word?
I think π is the end of the preceding word, αΈr. It is functioning as a logogram, not a phonogram:
