For complex reasons I'm irked to discover that the ancient Egyptian god identified with the star Sirius was called "Sopdet", not, as I previously believed, "Sothis"
Show this thread
"Sothis": extremely cool god name, good title for the epilogue of Ra. "Sopdet": gross nonsense-word, unacceptable to the canon

Absolutely all Ancient Egyptian names that end in "-is" are actually the Greek version of these names. Also, many of those that don't end in "-is" (e.g "Cheops"). I'm afraid the more correct forms are all gross nonsense-word for obvious cultural reasons.

Sopdet sounds like some soap brand from the 1950s that died out in the US but stayed around in Australia, like Woolworths
