And here the inquiry is suggested, Was the _ankh am_ the same as the modern _henneh_? Note the connection of _henneh_ with the marriage festivities in the East to-day. “Paint one hand with henna, mother; Paint one hand and leave the other. Bracelets on the right with henna; On the left give drink to henna.” (Jessup’s _Syrian Home Life_, p. 34.) [166] See _Egypt’s Place_, V., 232. [167] See _Egypt’s Place_, V., 174, 254, 282.

Apart from, and yet linked with, the explicit proofs of the rite of blood-covenanting throughout the primitive world, there are many indications of the root-idea of this form of covenanting; in the popular estimate of blood, and of all the marvelous possibilities through blood-transference.
