The present paper explores the name ftk-t / ftk-tA, which was
described and entitled in the pyramid texts as the “Butler or the
Cupbearer of the Sun God Re" Wdpw Ra. Most Egyptologists do not
offer a specific meaning for this name in their translations of the
Pyramid Texts. They only refer to it as ftk-t / ftk-tA. The paper aims
at identifying the original meaning and linguistic derivations of the
name, as well as recognizing the title and the closest meaning to
it in the Pyramid Texts. It also defines its religious role, function,
and relationship with the Sun God Re and the deceased king in
the Pyramid Texts.
