I'm assuming when you say hyphenated forms you're talking about syncretization. I was under the impression that the extra -et hieroglyphic symbol denoted a feminine form rather than diminutive, although I have heard your argument as well.

I've seen both contextualized within the commentary of Ancient Egyptian gender roles.

Hmm...did your prof pull from any particular secondary texts? I have a few books on women in Ancient Egypt and have yet to scour them for religious commentary in the area of the conceptualization of female deities.

I have emails into two professors, a former classmate and a friend who minored in it to see what they can turn up.

I'll let you know when they get back to me.

Ah. Too bad, would've loved to see further discussion of gender roles in ancient Egypt. Life happens. Thanks, anyway. 3nodding

I'm holding out hope they are just really busy and will get back to me shortly.

I know one of them just got married- he may still be on his honeymoon.
