Editing Horus (section)

==Etymology==
Horus is recorded in [[Egyptian hieroglyphs]] as ''ḥr.w'' "Falcon", 𓅃; the original pronunciation has been reconstructed as {{IPA|/ˈħaːɾuw/}} in [[Old Egyptian]] and early [[Middle Egyptian]], {{IPA|/ˈħaːɾəʔ/}} in later [[Middle Egyptian]], and {{IPA|/ˈħoːɾ(ə)/}} in [[Late Egyptian]]. Additional meanings are thought to have been "the distant one" or "one who is above, over".<ref>Meltzer, Edmund S. (2002). Horus. In D. B. Redford (Ed.), ''The ancient gods speak: A guide to Egyptian religion'' (pp. 164). New York: [[Oxford University Press]], USA.</ref> As the language changed over time, it appeared in [[Coptic language|Coptic varieties]] variously as {{IPA|/hɔr/}} or {{IPA|/ħoːɾ/}} (Ϩⲱⲣ) and was adopted into [[ancient Greek]] as {{lang|grc|Ὧρος}} ''Hō̂ros'' (pronounced at the time as {{IPA|/hɔ̂ːros/}}). It also survives in [[Late Egyptian]] and Coptic [[theophoric name]] forms such as [[Siese]]
"son of Isis" and [[Harsiese (disambiguation)|Harsiese]] "Horus, Son of Isis".
