Y for Yamm
Yamm, the power of the sea untamed and raging; he is seen as ruling storms and the disasters they wreak. He was a tyrannical god found in a fragmentary papyrus (Astarte Papyrus) which seems to hint that his exorbitant demands for tribute from the other deities were eventually thwarted by the goddess Astarte.
The challenge is almost over, I hope I didn't bore you to death with my "Egyptian stuff". There is only one more letter in an alphabet...
Tomorrow will be my stitching update (smile).
So long my friends,
Evalina

Yaam--I love the full power of the sea and every one of its other moods. Your examples of Egyptian words are fresh and exciting to me.

Yam sounds a bit like Zeus, who was god of thunder, and seen as rather angry and raging. Over from A to Z saying hi! Catherine
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about Yamm. Only yams.
