- The limbs in Osiris are weary, but won’t be weary, won’t be weary, they won’t putrefy or decay, [they] won’t [swell up, won’t] make foul fluid (literally, “evil water”).
Usage notes
Possibly identical to the preceding verb (‘to be(come) feeble?’ or ‘to quiver’). Faulkner identifies it this way in his publication of the Coffin Texts,[3] though he lists the two separately in his earlier dictionary.
Verb
2-lit.
Usage notes
If the verb ꜣdt is in fact a variant writing of this word, as has been suggested, then the proper meaning is likely ‘to smooth’ or something similar.
Alternative forms
See the forms given at ꜣdt as possible variants, if that verb is indeed to be taken as identical to this one.
