To my fellow Egyptological linguistic enthusiasts, I need some help.
I’m trying to find the actual word(s)/titles of Khonshu’s epitaphs: “defender”, “pathfinder”, and “embracer” so I can write them out in glyphs for an art project. I’ve looked in the online dictionary I usually go to for assistance (Sesh-Kemet) and on several other articles on Khonshu but I can’t find a transliteration for any except one.
Here it lists “defender” as “Dr” (or “djer”/“Zer” approximately transliterated) in combination with Sekhty (a king) using this glyph: 𓇧. Can anyone confirm whether this is a common term or if it was used for Khonshu specifically as well?
I’m still new to navigating the language (I’m an enthusiastic hobbyist at best) so any assistance or resources that are semi-easy to navigate for beginners would be greatly appreciated!😊

Costume Break Down
aka more than you ever wanted to know about Thai dance costume details but I think they are gorgeous and require so much effort to create and wear that they are worth celebrating.
Let's take a look at Khem's beautiful red costume.
Here the presence of the dagger and the colour choice quite firmly indicate that he is performing the role of the hero Prince Inao from the Lakhon Nai dance drama 'The Romance of Inao.'
His costume is based on the traditional costumes worn by heroes in both Khon and Lakhon Nai. There are some historical differences between the two types but they have very much influenced each other from the 19th Century onwards.
There are some elements of his costume that read as modern influences which I suspect are to reflect both current tastes and also the fact that the costume was intended to be seen on screen rather than a stage.
Here we see Khem's ornate headdress, known as a chada, he has a flower garland on the right side of his crown, which is the side that male characters always wear these flower pendants with heroines displaying them on the left.(Historically Lakhon Nai was only performed by women and was only for the eyes of the royal court although rules did relax in the 19th Century.)
It's hard to see in these pictures but he would usually be wearing the ornate wing shaped ear kaffa as well, which sit around the ears.
We can also see his very fine inthorn-tanu, which are those high pointed shoulder pads, worn by male characters to exaggerate their body shape.
We can see him wearing the ornate wide collar around his neck, known as a krong-kaw and a large pendant pinned to the end of the collar against his chest.
A body chain known as sangwan is then crossed around the pendant and is usually attached to an ornamental belt or just below it, at the front and back of the costume.
Khem's sangwan is a relatively simple looking version of what can be a very intricate piece of jewellery but I suspect it is because the camera will be getting a much closer look at him than an audience looking at a stage could do.
In general I think his costume is not quite as ornate and covered with detail as a stage costume often is but there is just enough there to show the luxurious nature of dance outfits without looking too much on screen.
The above picture also gives us a great look at both his hoy-na, a silk panel that hangs at the front of the costume, (here it is red and gold with gold fringe) and his hoy-kang, the silk panels that sit either side of the central hoy-na.
We also see one very modern addition - the shiny gold buttons!
Traditionally dancers are sewn into their costumes with no visible seams, a lengthy process which does run the risk of damaging the costumes every time they are stitched and unstitched.
I suspect that Apo is still partly sewn into this outfit but I imagine they wanted to give him a top that he could get in and out of more easily as he would need to be able to change constantly for filming.
I really like the design of the top, it gives both a hint of Western influence with the shape but also has a Chinese feel with the high collar and then those beautiful very Indian looking fabrics, which feels appropriate for the era and for Man Suang itself. We see it sits over the pha-nung and hoy-na etc which would not typically be the case and is why I suspect he is not also wearing a cloth belt under it as well (mentioned below.)
The red tights are also a modern addition, usually we would see bare legs and feet but they do give a very theatrical look which feels fitting for Man Suang.
From this angle we can see his pha-nung, which is a long rectangular cloth that is usually pre stitched and pleated and is wrapped around the waist and drawn through the legs to be tied in a knot at the back.
Underneath that he will be wearing a pair of sanab-plao, short trousers with deep embroidered hems that sit just below the knee.
He may also be wearing pha-pawk, which is a fabric that basically functions like hip pads to assist the pha-nung in exaggerating the body shape to create an image that mimics statues and murals depicting dancers.
Usually he would be wearing a radsa-aew, a cloth belt which is stitched into place and secures the pha-nung. I can't tell just by looking at this but I suspect he may not be given the way his clothes are lying.
We can see he is wearing a lovely cloak here that appears to be silk lined velvet.
Here we can see his embroidered sleeves, these are usually sewn on to an undershirt which also has padding sewn into it to exaggerate the shape of their chests. The decorative outer shirt is then usually sewn onto that undershirt.
Now in this picture, we see the fancy sleeves taper off to a plain red fabric at the shoulders which could indicate the presence of an undershirt but there is that clip in the trailer where Khem tugs his costume open and we see his bare chest so I don't know whether he is or isn't. Perhaps it depends on the necessity for him to be able to strip in any given scene which is totally fine by me!
We can also see his decorative golden vambraces and he is likely also wearing beads or a bracelet of rings as well. Usually more is more when it comes to dance jewellery but once again, I think they have been more restrained here.
Rings worn on the fingers are common and of course, anklets are essential.
At least they are to me ❤️

A newly discovered electric-blue tarantula at Khon Kaen University in Khon Kaen, Thailand. The tarantula, scientifically known as Chilobrachys natanicharum, was discovered by the university. It gets its name from the shimmering blue colour it reflects when exposed to light, one of the rarer colours found in nature. It is the first new tarantula found in Thailand in 27 years

I found this pylon particularly interesting because (in the middle band), Khons is shown with a goddess standing behind him, in the position usually reserved for a gods consort. Her headdress is unusual: a shrine, with a rearing cobra deity, surrounded by clumps of vegetation and flowers. However, I'm almost certain it's Hathor since she is shown, in Hatshepsut's mortuary temple, with the same headdress, and it is also her headdress on several examples of sistra handles. This identification is reinforced by the band above, which shows the king making offerings to Hathor, with her regular headdress, and her son, Ihy, wearing the hemhem crown.
I found this interesting since I hadn't really come across an official consort for Khons. Although all the gods are pretty fluid, I tend to associate Hathor with Horus (she's shown as both his consort and, at times, his mum, because…yeah…Egyptian gods 🤷♀️). Of course, Khons himself sometimes appears in a similar role to Horus - he's the moon to Horus' sun, and he is sometimes associated with the king (Horus's) placenta. In such a way, he is like a nocturnal, more chthonic, twin to Horus' solar form. That he is shown with Hathor as a consort shouldn't really surprise me. I just couldn't recall seeing them depicted in this way anywhere else.
