| AHTI.
Unisex. An Egyptian goddess, having the head of an uræus and the body of an
hippopotamus. She was one of the Typhonic or malevolent deities. (An Archaic Dictionary, Cooper, 1876).
It is also another name for the god Bes
(q.v.). AHTI.
m. Variant spelling of Finnish Ahto
(q.v.), the name of a god of the waters, meaning "the
sea."
There are a
good many divine beings who are called by names different from those of
the things they represent, but such names are certainly less ancient, and
side by side with them the use of the ancient, direct denomination still
continues. Thus Ahti is the proper noun, of doubtful origin
(probably Germanic), indicating the god of the waters; Vellamo
(also probably Germanic) is the goddess of the waters; but these are often
called simply lord or lady of the waters (veen isäntä,
emäntä), nay, the water itself, vesi, is sometimes found invoked by
its own name as a divine being... (The Traditional
Poetry of the Finns, Comparetti, 1898).
