His name means \"million,\" \"eternity,\" or \"infinite number\" \u2014 a conceptual expression of the unboundedness that characterized the pre-creation state. Heh is one of the most distinctively Egyptian divine concepts: the personification of boundless time and space before the ordered cosmos imposed limit and measure on eternity. He is particularly interesting as both an Ogdoad member (the primordial force of boundlessness) and as a separate deity in Egyptian religion: in his non-Ogdoad aspect, Heh is depicted as a kneeling man holding a palm rib (hieroglyph for \"year\") in each hand, with tadpoles hanging from the ribs as symbols of millions of years \u2014 a visual expression of infinite duration. In this form he is frequently placed in the hands of pharaohs as a symbol of eternal reign. As an Ogdoad member, Heh is the infinite spatial-temporal expanse that preceded creation; as an individual deity, he is the divine gift of eternal life that the creator bestows upon kingship. His female counterpart is Hauhet.
