Research status
Not yet researched. Nothing above has been checked against a primary text. No claim on this page should be cited. The description is recorded so the roster is complete and so the starting point is visible — not because it is established.
Per 00-README.md rule 4, an aggregate list is sufficient to show a name is in circulation and never sufficient to show it is attested. This entry becomes a real one when someone finds it in a primary source and fills in the format from ENTRY-FORMAT.md.
Group: the First Division of the Tuat — as Un-ta, the first of the nine apes described as "the gods who open the gates to the Great Soul" [budge-1905].
Under the companies rule (C246) this is a pointer rather than an entry: the sources name the member and describe only the company.
