Are you referring to "Shu and tefnut (with her arms) take N to heaven and he ascends on the smoke of incense."?
I've simply collapsed the concepts from three distinct rituals into a single sentence in my own words. It's like taking A=1, B=2, C=3 and rewriting it as A+B+C+ 6. If D is A+B+C the D=6. Egyptologists can't do this because in their interpretations each word (A,B,C) has many definitions and they are contradictory. I can do it because I've found a logical relationship and perfect logical consistency.

I have gotten much more careful with conclusions since you pointed this out. Only a few of my solutions are much affected.

It isn't a belief that there were very few words but rather an observation. Most of the words in the Egyptian dictionaries are simply unattested in the Pyramid Texts.
There is a very very highly limited amount of writing in Ancient Language. This language was failing (fewer could speak it over time) even before the great pyramid building age. Writing was invented to prevent drift of meaning in the new pidgin languages that were springing up among those who couldn't speak it. But the Pyramid Texts are just the ritual read to the crowds at the king's ascension ceremonies and preserves the original human language.
