  • ḫti̯: I follow Assmann (1978, 28) in reading with the D5 𓁺 determinative of ḫti̯, a rare verb meaning ‘perceive, catch sight of’ (Wb. III, 348, 16–7). He also notes the alternative rendering ‘engrave’, which would refer to the images of the goddess in Djehutyemheb’s tomb, including the image that may have been inscribed opposite and within ‘sight’ of his own image on the north wall of the shrine. The verb also occurs in Edfu and Dendara texts with reference to seeing divine images carved on the temple walls; Wilson (Wilson, Penelope 1997. A Ptolemaic lexikon: a lexicographical study of the texts in the temple of Edfu. Orientalia Lovaniensia Analecta 78. Leuven: Peeters, 1997, 753) considers that this may be a usage restricted to such contexts.
