Anput (Input) was the personification of the 17th Nome of Upper Egypt. Her name is merely the female version of the name of her husband, Anubis ('t' is the feminine ending and Anubis was known as Anpu or Inpu to the Egyptians) and she is not often referred to except in relation to the 17th Nome. She was depicted as a woman wearing a standard topped by a jackal, or as a large black dog or jackal. Anput was thought to be the mother of Kebechet the goddess of purification.
