need definition help for DD11

[Caropooh]

Can anyone help us find a definition for:
kheft
ouzait
We looked on dictionary.com and other online dictionaries and can't find anything. We did find a reference to ouzait(a little enameled model of the Sacred Eye of Horus), but don't know how accurate it is.
Thanks!

Did you try Google or Google Book search?

Tought! Is he reading, "Mara Daughter of the Nile?" I found some webpages that reference that book and those words.

Did some searching and found this:

He made a face, before catching her expression. It wasn’t a question. He sighed again, getting to his feet, and going to the shut storeroom door. Sahure glanced back to ask her a question just in time to see her grasp for the amulet around her throat. He felt a pang of hurt, he knew what it was. Kheefta, his younger half brother, had told him one day, it was an ouzait, a little enameled model of the Sacred Eye of Horus. She had gone to a magician to get it soon after marrying his father.

Hi NC Belle,
I am Caropooh's DH. Yes we checked everything we could think of, Google, MSN, Yahoo, and all the online dictionarys. But we know the Disboard members (didn't want to say dis-members) will come through for us. TIA

Found another thing:

The lioness was a zootype of the mythical Great Mother, Kefa (or Kheft), who became the Hebrew Chavvah, the genetrix of life and mother of the human race.

Man, I got a 99% in English and tutored many in college. I don't do well in math (I almost failed so many times).
I'm glad you found your definitions....at least I know I can come to the Dis for answers for my kids for math/science!!

DD11 says "gracias!" I say thank you! Her class is reading "The Golden Goblet" and has to find words they don't know or think are interesting. They then put their definition and then find the true one.
Thanks again for the homework help! We knew you'd come through!
