Most of the horus' are easy to tell apart. These are tougher but based on current understanding these should be right.

Horus the Elder;

...Horus of the Gods
...Horus of Hȝ.t
...Horus of the Dȝ.t (duat)
...Horus of Nḫn
...Horus of Nekhen
...Horus of Hierakonpolis
...Horus of the Sky
...Horus who repeats not his work
...Horus in the great green
...Horus chief of spirits
...Eye of Horus (is the eye of horus the elder)
...(has his hair spit on by the dead king)
...is the father of "the children of horus"; H3pi, Dw3-mu.t.f, 'Ims'.ti, Kbh-s'n.w.f,
...Horus (son of atum)
...Horus, Lord of Heaven
...Horus, Lord of Men and Gods
...Followers of Horus (are followers of horus the elder)
...Horus of the Tree (from CT #465)

Horus the Younger;

...Horus of the East
...Horus of Ssm.t-land
...Horus of the Horizon
...Horus of the South
...Horus of the North
...Horus of Db‘.wt.
...Horus of Letopolis
...Horus the pointed
..."each Horus" (there are 2 1/2 million horus' in G1 alone)
...Horus Lord of the Green-Stone
...Horus Who Avenged his Father (is horus the younger)
...Horus who Inhabits the Horizon
...Horus who was in Sothis
...Horus; spirit who was in the dndr.w-boat"

I believe all the rest are apparent from context. It's only spelled out like this when context doesn't demand one or the other. I don't have as much confidence that horus of the east is horus the elder as I do in the other attributions. There is "Horus-Śkśn" which has too little information to solve and is probably a compound god.

This thread should account for every use of "horus" in the PT which is by far the most commonly used term in the PT.

edited to add- I should leave it alone since I'm still not extremely confident but I believe there's a 90% chance "horus of the east" is actually horus the younger and have switched his category. I'm guessing there was no "horus of the west" because stones were rarely or never lifted on the west side. 3-4-'15
