Hi Lee,

Don't be sorry. While in the dissertation there was nothing to this special context, it is still worth it's weight in gold. Heheh.

Yes, I agree, iwn is pillar or column. I hand't figured out the pot to be a phonetic complement. However, Faulkner gives examples of "iwn" also being a "pillar" in the abstract sence, such as "being the pillar of the family" etc. And yet, there are the iwntwy, translated as the "bowmen"??? And how about iwnt (Denderah), Iwny (Armant) and there is one more, but the name eludes me at the moment...
