Thanks Merrell. The controversial Vyse "cartouche of Khufu" does not include "Khnum" and does include two chicks. Do you consider the cartouche that reads "Khnum-Khfu" (a single chick) to also be a "cartouche of Khufu"? I'm simply trying to verify whether Yoshimura saw the Khnum-Khfu (one chick) variant or the Kh-u-f-u (two chick) variant of the "cartouche of Khufu". Regardless of whether I'm using the proper terminology, hopefully I've conveyed my meaning.
