In a piece about the myths of the goddess Hemsut, concerning the links between the god/concept Ka and the goddess/concept Hemsut. Context: "Un passage du Texte des Sarcophages du Moyen Empire destiné à *lotir* comme il se doit le défunt vient encore conforter cette association: « J’ai mangé les ka ; je me suis nourri des hemouset, je vis des esprits glorieux et des dieux anciens. »." What is the sense of "lotir" in this sentence, please? I can't make sense of it at all! Thanks in advance for any help.
