 The phrase Khery Heped meaning “under the hind part” is only found associated with one other decan group, that of the Sheep, indicating that whatever ''knmt'' means, it is a four-legged animal of some kind.
-In modern times, it may be a mystery why the area under the hind part of a cow would be worthy of a decan, but in the Meir Monumental Tombs, there is tomb art depicting a man kneeling down, helping a cow give birth. References to this part of the cow, or any livestock animal, is indicative of birth, transformation, and change. The artwork for this card comes from a tomb in the Asyut region in central Egypt, where the first decan lists were found on the insides of coffin lids. It may be the very image the Egyptian priests had in mind when they gave the decan its name.
