ḥr-ꜣḫtj
Egyptian
Etymology
ḥr (“Horus”) + ꜣḫtj (“of the Akhet”). Later, in the New Kingdom, ꜣḫtj was reinterpreted as the dual of ꜣḫt (“Akhet”) instead of a nisba adjective derived from it, rendering a new interpretation of ḥr-ꜣḫtj as a direct genitive construction meaning ‘Horus of the Two Akhets’.
