In the Book of Nut, the terms qbḥw and qbḥw nṯrw appear to designate a portion of the outermost fringes of the cosmos, to the north/north-west, where an opening of the Duat was located.

Toward the end of the Old Kingdom, and with the emergence of the Coffin Te…

In this context, an approach based on cognitive linguistics and on the significance of the determinatives accompanying the word Duat can be exploited to shed more light on this elusi…
