On this link, the "Uas" part appears associated
with "(phoenix- headed)" - in the section for Ptah.

[I thought the description of "phoenix- headed"
looked pretty interesting - since all scholars don't
seem to agree on what the top of that staff was
supposed to represent. Some argue there is no
way to tell for sure. BTW, "longervity" could be
considered a phoenix trait.]

Z - "Glyphs believed to represent Z include: a set
of two parallel horizontal lines; a capital I-like shape;
an arrow. Re****ted meanings attributed to Z include:
weapon [zayin], arrow. History: re****tedly, Z started
up as the Greek letter Zeta and the Phoenician letter
Zayin, both of which were placed at the beginning of
the alphabet. These early letters resembled modern
uppercase I's with broad top & bottom strokes.
Though the Romans borrowed Z from the Greeks it
quickly fell out of use in favor of the S sound. Z was
not fully adopted into the Roman alphabet until the
1st century A.D., when the Romans began having
more contact with the Greeks [see link].

That there was a sceptre by such a name, I
thought that was interesting. It reminded me of
Harold's Klemp's spiritual name, as it seemed
to contain some of the same basic "sounds".
I'm not saying it's the same.
