Variant: boulder

                                          

MC                          K&H                           JM                           TOK.p13.r5.c1              TOK.p17.r1.c1

 

                   

YAX Lintel 16 D1              YAX Lintel 23 M1

ye.<he:TE'>                       u:TZ’AK:ka{j} *17:he :wa

 

·     A modified form of OHL/WAJ – has the same elements except that:

o There is a curved-v indentation in the middle of the roof.

o From the indentation hangs an upside-down feeler/scroll.

·     YAX Lintel 16 D1 seems to lack the lipped-U with supporting pillars at the bottom – perhaps the partially cross-hatched element in the middle is the equivalent of the lipped-U, but the pillars are completely absent.

·     YAX Lintel 23 M1 has an uncharacteristic variant of he as it lacks the characteristic “scroll” at the top, and instead has the LEM-like element usually found in OHL.

 

Variant: animal head

              

TOK.p30.r3.c4              PAL PT B18

he                                   18.<he:wa> or 18.<HEEW:wa>

 

·     A rabbit head is suggested by the very distinctive ear – two crossed bones cover the eye.

·     Known from PAL PT B18, where it substitutes for he’ew of a DN.

·     Note that it is also possible to read this as HEEW (i.e. as a logogram).
