Note C — Chapter XXVI

Reading edition

The Egyptian texts have two names for the Heart. One ab, the other, hatu. Ab used as connected with lively motion. The word hatu seems to include not only the heart properly to say, but also the lungs, and by it the heart was likely considered also in connection with the larynx and the respiratory organs of man. Mr. Renouf uses in his translation, for the latter, the expression; Whole Heart.
