Note 1 — Chapter CLXII
P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation
All the translators have interpreted by “heat,” the vital heat of the body. But this is not the true sense of the word, which means “flame,” “flame of fire.” The root implies the idea of darting, springing forth like a flame or a spark, and not of latent heat. cannot mean anything except a great quantity of flames. These flames will be the protection of the deceased.
