ϫⲓ ⲛϫⲛⲁϩ - take by forearm

[mlinssen]

In ancient hieroglyphs, such as

"In the famous Old Kingdom relief scene from the Mastaba of Khafkhufu I (G 7140) at Giza, his wife Nefertkau II is depicted standing closely behind him in a classic posture of ancient Egyptian affection"

the wife is holding the husband by the forearm.
This must be some ancient Egyptian custom, and I can find a few hieroglyphs but not many.
Could someone help elucidate the meaning of this?

"Take by violence" is a meaning assigned by Crum, but he refers to Bohairic  ϭⲓ ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ or ϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ.
Perhaps this composite verb can also mean both?
