Osiris
The Egyptian god Osiris is written wsjr, and puns with wsr for “power” & “wealth”.
Osiris is written wsjr, very often with the biliteral signs Q1 𓊨 ws and D4 𓁹 jrj. As usual, all of Osiris’ attributes are S-R puns with his name. The most obvious pun is with wsr for “power” & “wealth”, which is already a hint as to who really invented this religion. Since jrj for “acting” is a very common word, there may also be compound phrases, though they are harder to figure out.
- Osiris holds a flail, because wsr means “power”. To the aristocracy, power is about successfully subjugating their subjects.
- Osiris holds a crook, because wsr also means “wealth”. To the aristocracy, wealth is what they grab from their subjects. The ancients knew that power & wealth are really the same behind the scenes, so it was one word.
- Osiris holds a crook, perhaps also because wsr means “neck”.
- Osiris is a spook symbol, because sr means “nobleman”, probably derived from “power” & “wealth”.
- Osiris & Seth were spook symbols as brothers, because wsr-stḫ means “hidden power”. (Seth puns with stḫ for “concealed”.)
- Osiris was cut up into pieces by Seth, because wsj-r means “cut up into pieces”. (Seth puns with sṯȝw for “attacker”.) This is the one pun that’s spelled 100% identical to Osiris, so it may also have a figurative spook meaning.
- Osiris was healed by Isis, because srwḫ means “healing”, and perhaps because ȝst “splinters” puns with Isis.
- Osiris is a mummy perhaps because sˤḥ means “mummy”. (ḥ ≈ r is not a very good pun though. But since sˤḥ also means “nobleman”, it could also be a synonym pun, or both.)
- Osiris is the god of the underworld, because šrˤ means “dungeon”.
- Oriris has a wooden penis, perhaps because wsr means “strong” & “rudder”, which could be a slang term. That word has even been suggested to mean “penis” directly.
