Transliterating:
sva-bhU(aMzu-ra-khatri-purU)= self existing-(warrior, loving rays of heaven/paradise)
Alt. self existing-( warrior loving abundant rays).
Second one:
rasA(atna-ra-catura-nipur)=earth-( sun loving, skilfull having subtle body).
Lets understand first what Hittites could have implied when they called this Egyptian queen dakhamunzu.
dakha is pAli version of Sanskrit word dkSa which means dexterous, clever, skilfull.
Munzu was probably used for the word manuSI or mAnuSI both meaning woman so dakhamunzu should mean skilfull woman.
This meaning takes away one of the prime contenders, Ankhsenamun out of race.
However, this meaning creates more problems as four ladies share this mean of skilful/dexterous.
We will try solving this issue in next post.
