I'm not sure if this is correct but I think Chris Bran called himself
P'taah after the Alice Coltrane album 'Ptah the El Dauod', or at
least after the same thing she called that lp after. On the liner
notes she explains the title
"Ptah is the name of an Eyptian god - in fact one of the highest
aspects of God." (she continues: "'The El Doaud' means 'The
Beloved'")
I guess this is correct, but i've got no concrete reasons to support
it. Well, I've never heard the word P'taah or Ptah anywhere else at
least.
