·     A rabbit head is suggested by the very distinctive ear:

o Long and floppy.

o With “water” markings on it (because the rabbit is associated with the moon, and the moon is associated with water?).

·     A small eye (as is accurate for rabbits).

·     The snout points (basically) downwards, not to the left.

·     The reading as pe is well attested in (for example) the toponym / polity Peptuun, and the verb pek- (in the passive form, as pehkaj).

·     This syllabogram also has a reading as CHIT or T’UL.

·     This syllabogram also has a reading as tz’o (some uncertainty, proposed by Stuart, but apparently not widely accepted).

·     Is there a tendency for pe not to have a beard and for CHIT to have a beard?

·     This decipherment was officially published in 2021 in Davletshin&Beliaev-ASSfP but knowledge of it has been informally passed from the authors to the epigrapher community for many years.
