Some sources claim that this deity has a consort called Astennu, who stood by a lake of fire. This god's epithets include "thrice great" which led to his conflation with Hermes Trismegestus. As part of his most notable role, he was said to be the "tongue of Ra," and he once gambled with the moon to get extra light.
