Talk:Heget

Was she really called Heget, with a G? The upper middle hieroglyph is almost always transliterated as q. Alensha 23:01, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

There is NO "g" in Heket.
In all my readings I have never see Hekat's name with a "g" (ie HeGet"). Never. I've see it as: Heqet, Hek, Heket, and Hekit. I'm really thinking is a mistake. Someone perhaps confusing a "g" with a "q"

TourEgypt spells it as: Egypt: Heqet, Frog Headed Goddess of Childbirth http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/heqet.htm

Also if you look at her name in hieroglyphs (article page) the symbol corresponding to the hard "g" isn't there! Here's the image of the "g" heiroglyph: http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/10.htm

It needs to be changed. The only place I've seen her name as Heget is in places that are citing and using Wikipedia. This article is spreading false information.

Also how does one change the main article title?


 * It might be because this page appears to be taken from . Heget is listed as an alternative on


 * There is already a redirect from Heket to this page, so it sounds like you're suggesting to reverse the redirect to a more common english spelling. Might Heqet be more appropriate? DSParillo 21:31, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Sources?
I note that no sources are quoted in this page. That's worrying, because a lot of the material here seems to subscribe to the common amateur Egyptologist's approach of trying to conflate together the conflicting aspects of Egyptian religion to make it look like a harmonious whole.

Would it be possible to get proper sourcing for each claim, so readers can evaluate for themselves how reliable the article is?

Heget
I'm almost 100% certain that there is no such spelling as "Heget", and i see someone else has brought this up before.
