Urit
a place, not a deity
Why this entry exists
Urit is a place. In the Negative Confession the assessors are each introduced by where they come from, and one of them reads: "Hail, thou who orderest speech, who comest forth from Urit, I have not been a man of anger" [budge-1901].
The construction is identical to its neighbours — "who comest forth from the Lake of Kaui", "from the city of Unes", "from the Lake of Heqat". Urit is the locality, not the assessor standing in it, and the assessor there is unnamed.
How it got here
The census was assembled from an aggregate name list. Chapter 125 of the Book of the Dead names forty-two assessors and forty-two places, in alternating position, and a list-builder scraping divine names from that chapter will pick up both. Some fraction of the thin tier is Egyptian toponyms, not gods.
That is a distinct failure from the ones catalogued in C174 — the census link is not wrong, the category is. See finding C180.
The record
Nothing. That is the finding.

Open questions
- Sweep BD 125 for other toponyms that entered the census as gods. The chapter alternates names and places throughout, so if one got through, others will have. Cross-check the forty-two place names against the
