How do YOU pronounce “Thoth”???
Recently, I went to New Orleans for a weekend trip and was excited to find a quaint store in the French Quarter that held many Egyptian themed items and for me, a Kemetic, I was super excited! The lady that was working the shop was very nice but when I asked about an item featuring Thoth, she looked at me for a moment like I was crazy and said, “Oh, you mean Toth!”
Now I personally have only my little family to talk about my religion with face to face and so I had never heard that pronunciation before. It was like toh-th (or the word “toe” with a “th” at the end).
So I was just curious as to some of the other pronunciations Kemetics and even others use!
(I’m so afraid that I’ve been saying it wrong this whole time! I mean, he hasn’t fwapped me with his pen or scolded me or anything soooo)
Relax. I pronounce is THAWTH, like thought. But it’s ancient Egyptian and there is no known correct pronunciation. Your guess is as good as anyone.
where is this from?
If no one has already answered ya, it is Night Gallery: Professor Peabody’s Last Lecture – starts around :40 (via Hulu).
