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.
