Hello hieroglyph buffs!
I need your help again.

I've read that Khufu's Horus name is Medjedu. What does this translate as?

Also, I read that Khufu full birth name is 'Khnum-Khufwy', meaning ..

a) 'Khnum Protects Me'
b) 'May Khnum Protect Me'
or
c) 'Protected by Khnum'.

Which one is right?

And can you give me a breakdown of Khufwy? ie how does it translate to 'Protects me' etc?

Is that too much to ask?
Hoping you can help.

Cheers,
Jeff Burzacott
