Sim Lee and John Pedersen, November 2024
NOW WITH TTTs!! (see navigation bar at top of page)
This website is an HTML version of CMGG, Sim Lee's Classic Maya Glyph Guide (Amsterdam: self-published, 2023-2024), with an accompanying Concordance that gives a visual cross-reference to Thompson, Bonn, and MHD glyph information, including all of their glyphs. There is also a selection of TTTs (Transcription-Transliteration-Translations), illustrating the use of glyphs in real-world Maya inscriptions. The grids below are a kind of "index" to the CMGG; click on the word links to bring up the actual CMGG entries. The displayed glyphs are just mnemonic aids; the CMGG entries have many more examples, together with historical notes, etc. See the Help for more info, including if you are looking for a particular glyph.

Caution: 1) The CMGG entries are based on the author's evolving study notes and, while they strive for accuracy, there is no guarantee that everything is correct; 2) The CMGG entries will be updated from time to time, as will the site in general.
