I think that we are all agreed (aren't we) that crux means cross?
The disagreement appears to be over the word "hor". I have been
looking on the internet for such a word and have discovered the
following:
from www.reference.com
Hor, in the Bible, unlocated mountain, on the boundary of Edom, the
place of Aaron's death. It was traditionally identified with Jabal
Harun, a mountain in SW Jordan, but it does not correspond with the
biblical description.
Hor-hagidgad (hôr-hgd gd), in the Bible, wilderness camp of the
Israelites. The camping place called Gudgodah may have been the same.
Dictonary.com and others say that it is an abbreviation
for `horizontal"
[French, from Latin horiz n, horizont-, horizon. See horizon
and also: Hor, who conceives, or shows; a hill
from Strong's Hebrew Dictionary:
another form of 'har' (2022); mountain; Hor, the name of a peak in
Idumaea and of one in Syria:--Hor
also spelled hore and meaning the same as above.
Strong's Greek Dictionary did not have that word exactly, it had
words with hor in it and all seemed to be assoiciated with gazing:
>>> from - horao 3708; something gazed at, i.e. a spectacle
(especially supernatural):--sight, vision.
Also here is something rather interesting including a story of
someone being murdered and cut up and needing to find the pieces so
that Horus could be born again. I haven't had time to read or ponder
it all or sort it out so I put the link here.

whatever this is it also shows an ankh which IMO, if you add another
leg and let it droop a bit, you have the number 7 on JKR's website.
This is all I can do for now. But I hope other detectives here will
explore the above ideas and see what you come up with when you add
it to the crux = cross. Somehow I sense it might be a Hebrew word.
If anyone here knows Hebrew, or Greek maybe they could help us.
Thanks.
(Note: The above is what I wrote and tried to post last night, but
something was wrong with yahoo groups and I could not get in. I see
today that Leslie mentions something on Mugglenet where they
explored the term from different languages and came up with "against
Christ" or something and that makes sense. But since I did all of
this work I will post it anyway.)
