·     The element which is described as “two rows of teeth in an open mouth” is no longer considered to be a syllabogram. It only occurs to write ch’ok in the phrase u-ch’ok k’aba’, and always in combination with the so-called “goggle eyes” (also no longer considered to be a variant of ch’o). Instead that fixed combination of “goggle eyes” above “row of teeth” is now considered to be CH’OK (i.e. a logogram) – see under logogram CH’OK for more information.
