Amu-Aa (eater of the ass) or (eater of the phallus)[lower-alpha 1],[1][2][3] is one of the gods that goes with Osiris during the second hour of the night.[4][5]

Amu-Aa would eat the bread made for the boat and use the perfume.[6]

Notes

  1. ↑ Some translate the name as "one who knows the gate" which is a more fitting translation for his role as god near the gate.
