A Knife Marking Pinning and Anchoring in Egypt

This knife in Egypt, could be yet another example of marking pinning, fixing, anchoring. On a previous post I mentioned that a modern stab was an ancient "transfix" kind of word. This serpentine snake in a "pleats" pattern of upward and downward bulges, there can be flow going up through a cone portal at the tops, or a straight-leg portal at the bottoms of those bulges (image F).

I'm showing image F to help justify why the knifes and spears are piercing at tops and bottoms of bulges. ( As background info about legs, bent legs mean inward flow and straight legs are outward, and usually downward flow.) We also have feet/paws applying pressure, another way of showing anchoring as well as flow connection. We have some bite-across, on image D and E, and all of the above has been on recent previous posts. These cat with knife pictograms seem like basic educational materials. Cats/lions are usually outflow symbols.

Image H has a shackle to a sphere, anchoring to a portal. (ball and chain). Shackles seem like anchoring symbols too, saying the portal sphere isn't going to move. Image I has rope lashing on the bottom of a shen portal symbol. I suspect that also marks the portal as being anchored to the barrier.

Pleats pattern is a barrier pattern, and having little inlet/outlet spots all along that barrier, is important. A torus and a flux tube barrier can inflate and stretch out those pleats. Having little outflows pointing both directions lets pressures respond to surroundings and equalize. So even though those snakes aren't studded with outflow symbols, (unless you count all the little dots), I'm assuming it's why image B's knifes can mark the upward bulges in two different styles.
