ABSTRACT
The Ka is a being whose name, expressed in writing by two arms raised in a gesture of protection1 and worship 2 (Fig. 48, p. 175), is set up on the stand which supports the clanensign. We have been able to place the Ka among the most ancient totems or ensigns (Fig. 9, p. 45). In the course of the ages, it developed to the condition of a god, and then the ancient determinative of a god, the falcon on a stand, accom panies his name (Fig. 13, p. 66).
