Seems that Greg did not complete the quote so allow me to do so.

... The word, ka, was expressed by a hieroglyph depicting two upraised arms, which was usually the symbol of an embrace, the protection of a man by his ka, or a sign of praise, although other interpretations are possible.

Okay we have as an explanation:

1) sign of praise --- as when some raise their arms in this manner and cry ... Praise God

2) A symbol of embrace but not at all saying that this Ka was actually the thing being embraced

3) The protection of a man by his ka - Just how does upraised arms give protection ?

4) Other interpretations are possible ---
