·     A. Single element bound to flint:

o Two slightly curved lines in the middle (one or both bold), perpendicular to the long axis of the flint.

o They form a broader band “binding” a long, thin element to the flint:

§ The bound element has the same long axis as the flint.

§ The bound element can have sharp or rounded ends.

·     B. Double element bound to flint: similar to the single bound element form but with two elements bound to the flint:

§ The bound elements have the same long axis as the flint.

§ The bound elements generally have only rounded ends.

§ The top and bottom bound elements can each respectively touch the ceiling and the floor of the flint.

·     A. Boulder:

o A “three-bump” horizontal line dividing the boulder roughly in 1/3 (bottom) and 2/3 (top).

o A bold ceiling.

o In the centre of the top 2/3’s, two slightly curved bands (curved pillars) going from ceiling to the “three-bump” line – the two curved bands may optionally have very short bands between them, creating a “ladder”.

o On the left of the bottom 1/3, a bold right feeler.

·     B. Head: the boulder form infixed in the outline of a human head.

·     A. The whole centipede lies parallel to the main sign:

o Head:

§ Circle or circle with top of head bold or circle is a circle of tiny dots, or optionally absent.

§ Two feelers at the end – can be bold feelers or non-bold feelers each with a protector.

o Body: single band on long axis of the centipede, with parallel ticks on both sides for the legs.

o Tail:

§ Circle with dot in the centre, with a dotted circle between the central dot and the outside edge of the circle.

§ The tail can optionally have two feelers also, reflecting the structure of real-life centipedes.

·     B. Body of centipede goes into the main sign, with only the end part of the body and tail emerging from the main sign again (perpendicular to the main sign or at a sharper angle).

·     This is actually just TAJ = “torch” used acrophonically / dropping the final consonant.

·     Looper&Polyukhovych-SICV (2022) is a recent paper which proposes the reading ta for this glyph. This argument sounds very plausible, as the paper cites a newly photographed ceramic vessel (Mint Museum Bowl 1999.129.7), where ta pa lu è ta paaj ul = “for sour/fermented atole” occurs in the PSS. It occurs in exactly the spot where ta <adjective> <food-substance> would be expected, in the highly formalized syntax of a PSS (e.g. in the formulaic phrase of the PSS: yuk’ib ta (yutal) ixiim te’el kakao = “(the) drinking vessel for (fruity) maize-tree-ish / maize-tree-type cacao”). For this reason, the reading of ta for the “JELLYFISH” glyph seems to be quite acceptable.
