Prosperity:
- Wedja (written "utcha" in 19th century transcriptions) literally means "to be whole; to be intact," but also has the connotation of "prosperity" and "well-being."
- Dominion is a second term that is implied with prosperity. The raising of the Djed pillar was symbolic of the pharaoh creating, and maintaining his kingdom. It is the reason some pharaohs campaigned beyond the Egyptian border, leaving a legacy for the next pharaohs to deal with.
