Firstly, I'm typing the names from memory, so apologies in advance if the spelling is wrong.
To the point: does anyone know the meaning or source of these two words in our ritual?

From the lack of response, I'm assuming I heard it wrong and should have asked my Mentoring Officer about this during LOI a long while ago. :-)

By some accounts the second is a phonetic rendition of an ancient Egyptian statement about a builder.

That's a bit of a help. Maybe I can stop wondering if there was a Scottish connection?

No one has asserted that afaik. I might speculate that a foreign phrase coming into Scottish lodges might well be pronounced a bit Scottish

Well, maybe it depends how the progression/inheritance worked?
e.g. Egyptian Mystery Schools --> Mithraic tradition --> Western Celtic / Coptic tradition --> Tironensian monasteries (not Cistercians etc) --> Hiberno-Scottish mission and Scottish Rite.

>maybe it depends how the progression/inheritance worked? And our views of that substantially depend on the historical chronology that we choose. One alternative chronology results in parallel rather than sequential civilisations and as a byproduct eliminates dark ages - those for which little evidence exists. www.amazon.com/History-Fiction-Science-Chronology-No/dp/2913621058

There have been a few attempts to put the chronology of history on to a better footing. Fomenko is the most extensive with 7 large volumes of evidence, argument and statistical analysis.
