kaninisut bore titles such as "lord of the kilt," "sole friend" and "beloved son of the king," which were originally only used by relatives of the king, but came to be honorific titles for very important non-royals over the course of the old kingdom. they do not indicate much about kaninisut's actual role. most of the time in his titularies, the title of sem priest is in first position. this indicates a significant role in divine and funerary cult.
