What this means

Parentage as a named source tells it. Not an independently established biological relationship, and different accounts disagree.

Does not imply an independently established biological relationship · agreement between accounts · marriage as a legal institution · exclusivity, or a single canonical pairing

Connections

How Amun connects

Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Affiliation 2

What this means

Association with a tradition or school. Traditions branch, overlap and re-merge; this is not a clean single-origin tree.

Does not imply a fixed roster · that every account of the tradition knows this figure

Identification 1

What this means

One figure treated as another in some context. Not literal identity in all contexts, and usually a claim by a third party.

Does not imply literal identity in all contexts · that either tradition made the identification
