I've been kind of keeping people here up on current findings so will add this here.
I've known for some time that "'I[].t-wt.t" is their word for CO2 because only CO2 fits in context everywhere "'I[].t-wt.t" is used. CO2 is the only possible referent that makes the entire Pyramid Texts intelligible. But, of course, I didn't know what the real translation is because I don't read heiroglyphs. I shouldn't be surprised that not one of the people who do read them would actually look up the term to see if CO2 could be the referent. I was just going on the theory that it translated "gas (of) yeast" since these are concepts of which they were aware. All the Egyptologists poo pooed the idea and snickered. (This is what they do best).
Well, I found an on-line dictionary and looked it up myself. Apparently "'I[].t-wt.t" actually means "risings begetter" . This is consistent with the way they thought and the nature of CO2. This gas causes the foam to rise in beer and the bubbles to rise in bread and cakes.
It also makes the life of Osiris, the geyser.
131d. His nurse is ’i[].t;
131e. it is she who makes his life (through nourishment?); it is she who gave birth to N.
Gas is a feminine concept because it is all encompassing. Everything in the Egyptian language had a sex to it so that people would know which part of something was the referrent. The sex was determined by its nature and usually its shape. A pipe would be masculine but the inside of the pipe would be feminine. This is an obvious part of the language, but incredibly, Egyptologists never saw it and still don't know it because they won't listen to anyone at all. They actually believe that the Egyptians made dozens of grammatical errors while inscribing the words into hard stone. They actually believe that they made the exact same error over and over in pyramids built hundreds of years apart!!!
Here's a link to the dictionary;

This is the last piece of the puzzle but they won't even look at it and keep their picture of barefoot bumpkins who tiptoe through corpse drippings and drag mountains up ramps for a dead king who lives forever.
People are certainly remarkable creatures. What makes anybody think they are smart.
