Comments

  • ḫy pꜣ sp nfr: Assmann (note m) offers a number of parallels from contemporaneous sources for ḫy pꜣ sp nfr as a phrase meaning “how fortunate” something like literally “oh the perfect moment for”.

But what you have in other texts, which has an even greater significance, is the deity knowing the individual, so a reversal of the formula.
