Abstract:
This paper analyzes the Dt expressions that represent the infinity in various meanings, across different texts, including PT, CT, BD, … etc. Dt and nHH rep-resented infinity with diverse meanings, although the expressions in-question vary in usage depending on the word order or the relation-ship between Dt and nHH, all these expressions were used to guarantee the eternal life. nHH precedes Dt to continually guarantee eternal life, such as nHH Hna Dt, and nHH Dt, although nHH follows Dt as in Dt nHH and Dt r nHH, to secure the extension of eternal life, from immortality to the eternal life in the netherworld. Besides these expressions, there is another expression in which Dt appears twice, as Dt-Dt, and Dt sp-sn, in which a duplication of Dt ensures eternal life. The research time tracks the appearance of these expressions, furthermore tracking the researched expressions in various kinds of texts
