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.)
