But was Aphrodite green (<wD>) or cobra-like? Has Bernal indicated
any functional and/or semantic parallels, or just phonetic similarity?
Again, I'm not an expert in Old Egyptian, but I've been
thinking 'goddess' is <nTr.t> in Old Egyptian (that flag-like
hyeroglyph + the loaf hieroglyph + an optional feminine
determinative), <pr> rather meaning 'high'. An omograph?
