In case you are interested, I am uploading my word lists from AfroAsiatic languages here to look for the root meaning of NTR in Egypt's language family.

I found that it seemed to be from Semitic NTR (Hebrew Nathar, to shake, agitate; Amharic Natara - sparkle, and other Amharic words with a base of NTR meaning to animate, jump, marvel or scintillate) and Berber NKR (rise up, get up).

However, as no other Afroasiatic languages use this root as the word for God, it seems to me rather that Egypt's word NTR might still have to do with the NTR pattern that we saw across ancient civilizations. However, this is just a guess. A more conservative analysis would go with what I put in the file above.

Regards.
