The text here seems a bit of a mash-up: Offerings which mention more than 1 god begin the offering list section with "di.sn" (they may give), not "di.f" (he may give). There's also no mention of the post-12/13th dynasty "dd.t pt" bit, (which heaven gives, the earth creates, the inundation brings, etc). Hope to rewrite, but a bit too busy to manage a properly reference article at the moment! Can someone else step up? --Cliau 01:39, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunatly my only source on the Hotp di nesu comes from gardiner. I might be able to get another source from my library within a few days, but I have other projects I'm working on here at the same time. So I can step up, but it'll take a while for me as well. Anyone else? Thanatosimii 04:47, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- This book [1] has a detailed section showing each part of the formula with many variations and examples. I have not seen the "post-12/13th dynasty "dd.t pt" bit" mentioned in the book, nor does it make specific mention the "di.sn" part. However, some of the stelae reproduced in the book do show "di.sn" being used (good call, User:Cliau),
I believe that Collier and Manley suggest translating the di=f part as "that he may give a voice offering of...". 87.114.157.66 (talk) 01:08, 27 December 2007 (UTC)Nefertum
