Note 1 — Chapter XXVI
P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation
The Egyptian texts have two names for the Heart, phonetically written ȧb, and also written and ḥatu.[43] The two words are commonly used synonymously, but they are sometimes pointedly distinguished one from the other. Etymologically ȧb is connected with the sense of lively motion ȧb, like the Greek καρδία, κραδίη, (δία τὸ ἀπαύστως σαλεύεσθαι) with κραδάω and κραδαίνω. Other Indo-European names, our own heart, the Latin cor (cord-is), the Sanskrit hṛd, and the corresponding Slavonic and Lithuanian names have the same origin.
