    Most of the words in your list are Arabic, not "hieroglyphic."

    For the small number of words on your list that may not be Arabic, there is no evidence whatsoever that they are Ancient Egyptian.

    The two words that are certainly from Ancient Egyptian are وحوي يا وحوي and the word واحة, as well as some place names like "Imbaba" and the like.

    Mumm: Eat ........ this is just an onomatopoeia. Nothing to suggest that it is ancient Egyptian.

    Kakha, Ka55a .... this is a colloquial Arabic word used in many countries

    Bu'bu - Bo3bo3 ... this is also an onomatopoeia, and it's used in the Arabian Peninsula along with similar words like ba3aww

    Nuno: Baby ... this word is of European origin

    Tannesh: .... this is an Arabic word used all over the Arab world

    Batah, Bata7 ... this is an Arabic word from the root b-T-H for "flat"

    Sett: Woman ... this is a contraction of the Arabic word "sayyidah"

    Habba, 7abba: A little of. ... this is an Arabic word meaning "small piece."

    Yama: lots of ... this is a very old Arabic word still used all over the Arab world today. The use of the prefix "ya" is a purely Arabic phenomenon used for emphasis.

    Karkar: hyper laughing. ... this is an Arabic vernacular word for laughter. It is still used in the Arabian Peninsula

    Kahkah, Ka7ka7: became an aged ... this is an emphasized form of "ka77" for coughing, and it is used to connote old age. It is, of course, Arabic.

    Maqhur, Ma2hur: depressed ... this is an Arabic word that even appears in the Quran

    Edda: give ... this is also an Arabic word from the same root as "yad" (for hand), and is used in the Quran and Hadith.

    Ubbah, Ubba7 (for young kids): Carry ... this is just another onomatopoeia, and it's most likely of European origin.

    Moot: Death ... this is the word for death in Arabic and all Semitic languages.

    Merati: My wife .... this is the Arabic word امرأتي, but with the hamza elided, as is customary in colloquial Arabic.

    Kawwesh: stole everything ... this is a vernacular Arabic word

    Sokk: close ... this is an Arabic word, still used in the Arabian Peninsula. IT is the origin of the word "sakk" for "deed" or "document."

    Faas: Axe ... this is an Arabic word

    Ya Leel: Pleasure ... this is an Arabic word, "ya" is the أداة النداء, often used for emphasis or to call attention, and "leel" is the Arabic word for "night."

    So, most of the words you claim are "hieroglyphic" (there is no language with that name by the way; shows how much you know) are, in fact, not so. For the other words on your list, you need to provide real evidence that they are Ancient Egyptian, not just your own wishful thinking.

    EDIT: I did not ask for a source, I asked for evidence. There are a few ancient Egyptian words in use, but they are MUCH fewer than people like the two authors you cited claim. As I showed you above, most of the words that they claim are ancient Egyptian are actually Arabic, and a few are European. Either those two authors are ignorant of Arabic, or they are liars with an ideological agenda.
