The snake as word-sign has six loops here and in 21/4, four loops
in 1. 16. This agrees with the snake determinative of which has
usually four loops, once (19/12) six loops, and twice (3/3, 5/9) two
loops, and Shoi is said to be 'in Nun' 2/5. It is thus the snake of
Shay. But the sign, meaning distinctly a (sacred) snake, cannot read
sy, which always means distinctly a divinity. Hfe is perhaps the most
probable reading, see esp. 21/4; the det. of that word in 9/20 has
only two loops, but in Louvre dem. Mag. iii. 9 five or six loops. Syt
14/3, V. 27/1 has four loops, but the head seems to be raised high;
syt is derived from Eg. j'-/' which is represented by in late texts,
Br., Diet. Geogr., 762.
