Sub-variants (3) · A. Full: o Top: two touching, angled (SW to NE) “rugby balls”, optionally with left reinforcement of line or row of dots (or both) o Bottom: boulder with indentation in the middle of the top § Cross-hatched area slightly smaller than the boulder § Outer edge of cross-hatched area optionally bold Tokovinine in AT-E1168-lecture?.t0:? explains that the iconography is two eggs in a nest. · B. Reduced-1: top part only. Do not confuse this variant of k’u with one of the reduced variants of nu: o k’u has a dotted line as the line reinforcement of the left edge whereas nu has a solid line reinforcement of the left edge. o Where ku has a solid line reinforcement (e.g. the full form in TOK.p18.r2.c3), the large cross-hatched region below the “rugby balls” shows that ku is intended and not nu. · C. Reduced-2: left or right half only.
