Prayer to Khonsu

Khonsu, the one who brings light in the darkness, god of travelers in the night. Give me safe passage on my drive, he who navigates, so i may pass through the night safe and sound. Protect me from things going wrong, manipulate time and fate if it was my time to go, so I may see Re’s rise for another radiant day.

To my fellow Egyptological linguistic enthusiasts, I need some help.

I’m trying to find the actual word(s)/titles of Khonshu’s epitaphs: “defender”, “pathfinder”, and “embracer” so I can write them out in glyphs for an art project. I’ve looked in the online dictionary I usually go to for assistance (Sesh-Kemet) and on several other articles on Khonshu but I can’t find a transliteration for any except one.

Here it lists “defender” as “Dr” (or “djer”/“Zer” approximately transliterated) in combination with Sekhty (a king) using this glyph: 𓇧. Can anyone confirm whether this is a common term or if it was used for Khonshu specifically as well?

I’m still new to navigating the language (I’m an enthusiastic hobbyist at best) so any assistance or resources that are semi-easy to navigate for beginners would be greatly appreciated!😊

Ship children between my Raven and @animationanon‘s Olive. Their names are Kyra and Khons/Khonsu.

Just a quick doodle before I go to bed. Work has been killer lately so this is all I have for now.
