I know very little about the roles of ancient Egyptian deities, the influence of their numerous cults, or how much they varied over the enormous timespan of "Ancient Egypt." In fact I know very little about Neith at all and really have no clue about how relevant she was to Ancient Egyptian religion, and during which periods.
But it did strike me that she seems to have an exceptionally busy cabinet portfolio, so to speak, which made me curious about how common it was for Egyptian deities and their cults to have influence over such a wide range of topics.
Moreover, is thinking of these deities as having strictly defined roles, with each being responsible for certain aspects of life and death, actually a particularly useful framework? I could imagine that in reality there would be enormous overlap between the roles of various cults and deities depending on who, where, and when you were in Ancient Egypt.
