Where it comes from

A block throne in profile — the squared seat of gods and kings. It writes st, “seat, place”: where someone belongs is their s,t. And it is the first sign of Wsjr, Osiris — throne, then eye — the god whose name begins with where he sits.

How to remember it

The throne fixes a place: to have a seat is to have a station in the world. When the tale says the prince is “in his place,” the throne-sign is the place.

Piece by piece:

  • sw — he
  • m s,t≡f — in his place: this throne, with loaf and house around it

Everything in order, said with a seat. The sign is taught in 102’s chapter 04, where Osiris’s name pays its debt.
