I'd like to thank you all for the very interesting, scholarly, and enlightening discussion. The questions i still have, however, is where Budge got the idea that djdjt was a 'fruit', and why Emma Brunner Traut recently identified it as henna, even though other authors already identified it as hematite. (I'm sorry i don't have the exact reference, but i think she did so in "Altagyptische Marchen.")

Thanks in advance.

Bill
