“ADWH”:WITZ’ <HA’[EK’]>:“ADWH” 1.WITZ’
· This nickname “AGED-DEITY-WITH-HANDS” is taken from MHD’s description of the iconography.
· It is currently undeciphered and the reading is not known.
· According to MHD it occurs almost exclusively in the deity name / title HA’-“ADWH”-EK’ è Ha’ ? Ek’ – a search in MHD on “blcodes contains MB5” yields 11 hits:
o 9 of these hits are confidently read as Ha’ ? Ek’.
o In fact, TIK Stela 3 B9 is one of the 2 remaining occurrences of “ADWH” not associated with Ha’ ? Ek’.
· However, there still exists some doubt as to whether T233a and T233b are actually the same glyph. Sergei Vepretskii says that T233.1 is a baby (it looks helpless), and notes that T233.2 is probably not the same glyph as T233.1 (the head is not that of a baby).
