Note 17 — Part II.
P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation
23417. Ṭuṭu, , with many variants, showing that the scribes did not understand the sense of the syllable , some of them adding the bird of evil , others the determinative of mountain. The name on the Sarcophagus of Seti (Bon. II, A. 30) has a snake for determinative, and some papyri call him Ṭuṭu. The god may be recognised in later texts. In the Calendar of Esneh there is a feast on the 14th day of Thoth, in honour of , Tutu, ‘the son of Neith,’ and the text gives the important determinative , of a serpent, worm, or slug. I feel sure, therefore, that we should in the text read the name Tutu, and consider as a determinative.[123] The symbolism would then be identical with that in Pl. XXIII, illustrative of Chapter 87. The Sun-god there rises up like a worm out of the Lotus of Dawn, whereas in another picture a slug () is seen moving upon the flower.
