[edit] 3kr.jpg
User:Rktect (believed aka Steve Whittet) seems to have an obsession with an Egyptian god whom he always refers to as 3kr. I believe that 3kr is a perverted transliteration which is more usually rendered as Aker. In which case, I am surprised that Rktect has not contributed to this article.
If any of the watchers of this page have not encountered Rktect, you may care to amuse yourselves by following these links:
- knotted cord, rope stretcher, itrw, pes (in most cases the worst of his stuff can only been seen via the edit history)

- 3kr is the transliteration. Believe it or not, due to lack of a better symbol, when transliterating egyptian on computers, the number 3 is frequently used to represent the glottal stop. However, transliterations are not good for articles' names, so you are right that this should be Aker. Thanatosimii 19:33, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
