세샤트: 두 판 사이의 차이

‘세샤트’({{transl|egy|sšꜣt}})라는 이름은 ‘(글)쓰다’를 뜻하는 어근 {{transl|egy|sš}}에 여성형여성 접미사 {{transl|egy|-t}}를 붙인 것이다. [[고대 이집트의 미술|미술 작품]]에서 세샤트는 머리에 일곱 개의 뿔이 나 있는 상징을 달고 있는 여인으로 그려진다. 이 때문에 세샤트는 ‘일곱 개의 뿔’이라는 뜻의 '''세프케트-아부이'''라는 이름으로도 불린다.<ref>Hart, George (2005).

H. Peter Aleff. From his article: "Many Egyptologists have long speculated about the emblem which Seshat wore as her head dress. Sir Alan Gardiner described it in his still category-leading 'Egyptian Grammar' as a 'conventionalized flower (?) surmounted by horns'. His question mark after "flower" reflects the fact that there is no likely flower which resembles this design. Others have called it a 'star surmounted by a bow', but stars in the ancient Egyptian convention had five points, not seven like the image in Seshat's emblem. This number was so important that it caused king Tuthmosis III (1479 to 1425 BCE) to call this goddess Sefkhet-Abwy, or 'She of the seven points'." In the same article, Aleff himself describes the figure as "an accurate image of a hemp leaf".</ref><ref name=Henderson>''Egyptian Grammar (Dictionary)''.
