• Resumen

  • This article considers the epithets of the Kôtaratu (Ktrt) group of goddesses. Its main objective is to compare the epithet "bnt hll snnt", "the luminaries, the radiant ones", with order related epithets referring to the same goddesses and others referring to different gods and goddesses but using the same components of the epithet under discussion. This paper proposes a new interpretation for "bnt hll snnt" based essentially on its immediate and general contexts followed by comparisons with Mesopotamian, Hebrew and Arabic parallels
