2. See note 1 to ch. 133. I cannot quite agree with Renouf as to the meaning of the word ⁂⁂⁂⁂. It seems to me that its sense is not so much that of “making someone mighty,” as of “distinguishing him, making him eminent” in the opinion of his god or his master, so that he may become his lord’s favourite. I consider the meaning of ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ as similar to that of ⁂⁂. 3. The following names are those of the seven celestial cows which are represented with the bull in chapter 148, together with the rudders of the four cardinal points. 4. See ch. 130, note 5. 5. ⁂⁂⁂ _pertiu_, adjective form of the noun ⁂, “a house,” the gods of the houses, contrasted with those of the fields. This word shows that in the complete spelling of the word ⁂ the ⁂ has not fallen off, as it probably was the case in the pronunciation, and in composite names such as: ⁂⁂, פִּתֹם ⁂⁂⁂, פִּי־בֶּסֶת. 6. I read here according to _Ld._ ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂. Instead of ⁂⁂⁂ _Lc._ writes ⁂⁂, and _Nu_ ⁂⁂, which does not give any sense. ⁂⁂ might here be translated _companions_. 7. In the Turin _Todtenbuch_, ch. 142 begins here with this title: _Chapter whereby the deceased acquireth might, whereby is given him to go and to widen his steps, coming forth by day in all the forms he likes, knowing the names of Osiris in all the places he likes to be._ ------------------------------------ CHAPTER CXLIV. _The Chapter of the Arrival_(1.)
