Ltn (reconstructed pronunciation liyitanu), a seven-headed sea serpent and servant of the sea god Yam. Robert Rose argued that the deity is the personified river, which winds and coils itself like a serpent through the Beqaa Valley. The oldest reference to the Litani, and reference to its name, is found in Papyrus Anastasi I 21.1, where it is spelled Ntn.
