I've been looking into the possible identity of Ruddjedet. Below is the heiroglypics presented by Nederhof for Ruddjedet and the first four glyphs and their meaning in accordance with the Egyptology Forum list here: [www.egyptologyforum.org]



The bowstring is problematic in that it doesn't have a phonetic value, just a logogram and determinitive. A possible alternative reading for the first four glyphs could therefore be something like:
r (D21) d (D46) rwd (T12) mjet (Y1)

rdrwdmjet - could this be linking to Demeter via Isis as I suspect Ast-Djamet (Isis Djamet) from Table 6.1 in Lull & Belmonte is? One possible link is Sopdet [en.wikipedia.org] whose name can mean "Triangle" or "Sharp One"? Sopdet is the consort of Sah which would fit with Re-usre being Sah.

Sopdet refers to the star Sirius.
