To the Clergy or anyone knowledgeable in this: Difference between Izfet and Garagah

AvatarMysteries of the Gods1 min to read

Hello everyone, I have a question written in the title. Those two liturgical terms are quoted together in both Lady Ma'at's and Lady Sekhmet's Rituals.
I have not seen a full article on Garagah, as there is indeed a very detailed one about Izfet. I saw HP Zevios gave a brief definition of what Garagah is in an old post, but I didn't catch the difference between Garagah and Izfet.
So, what I would like to know is the following:
1) What exactly is Garagah, and where is it quoted in Egyptian Sources?
2) What's the difference between the two?

Thank you kindly in advance.

It is likely a term for dross that has been lost to time.
In modern Egyptian Arabic, "garah" is "distress, emotional sorrow" and "garh" is injury.

Graha (ग्रह) in Sanskrit is "to seize, to take control of", and it is often used in the context of entities or powers that control human fate.

Likely all stems from a common root of "negativity that limits us".

Thank you! That makes sense.
Maybe Garagah is a product of Izfet.
Since any discordance, inbalance, disharmony in people is Izfet, they cause suffering, "injury" in a broad sense and if not resisted it can take control of you (like the Sanskrit word Graha) and constitute negative karma that if left as it is, it seals someone's fate.
Limits are Izfet, too, if they prevent someone from being aligned with Ma'at.
That would mean that Garagah is a child of Izfet, but that's just my theory.

I still don't know if Ancient Egyptian liturgical texts do mention this and if it is so, what text.
