nṯrj-ẖt

Egyptian

Etymology

nṯrj (“divine”) +‎ ẖt (“torso”) in a direct genitive construction, thus ‘(the one who is) divine of torso’. Alternatively, but perhaps less likely, if ẖt is to be interpreted with its other meaning of ‘group of gods’, the intended sense may be ‘divine one of the group of gods (i.e. the Ennead)’.
