Abstract

Many words referring to the action of 'to tie', or to the 'names of the tools' with which any undesirable things could be bounded, were used in the Egyptian texts. These words could be classified into two categories, the first of which is the words that could be translated into 'bonds or fetters and as also 'to tie or to bind with ropes or bonds'. The other is that which bears the meaning of 'to lasso or to capture / constrain with the lasso' next to the previous meaning and which is to be the focus of this study. In his article, Ogdon has mentioned that 'lasso', which was a prehistoric 'weapon' as an element of the chase-equipment, is one of the most recurrent means to paralyze the action of an enemy whether of this or the Otherworld; and this opinion depends on his interpretation of the word 'lasso' as 'any tied cord that binds'.
