The Egyptian Book of the dead by P. Le Page Renouf and Edouard Naville

12. ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂. I consider this word as derived from

⁂⁂⁂, ⁂⁂⁂, which means to mark an object with a cut or with fire, for a religious purpose, or simply as an indication of property. A little further it is spoken of fishes ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ “marked on the tail.”
