Meaning of name[edit]

I removed the translation referring to the pomegranate tree. The literature (Dobrev/Leclant and Verner) refers to the name as being the name of the 20th nome. The 20th nome is associate with the Sycamore tree? There is a bit of info in Dobrev/Leclant about the reading of the name. It is apparently possible to read the name as Atefet, but the reading of Nedjeft instead of Atef is based on the fact that in the 6th dynasty the name would have been read as Nedjeftet. I did not include that in the article as I could not quite think of how to incorporate that in a sensible way. --AnnekeBart (talk) 12:02, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
