Variant: boulder
K&H = K&L TOK.p34.r1.c1 BMM9 = CMC4 = FK2
· This variant (the only one) is a boulder outline with two infixed elements (a “necklace” and “blades of grass”) in common with a number of other glyphs. The list below shows the unique element infixed in the top which distinguishes them from one another: o ba: LEM-like element. o ma: right-side-up AJAW-face. o t’u: KAWAK. o tz’e: a slightly curved, bold V with “dot protector” underneath (the “dot protector” replaces the “necklace”, and the bold V can sometimes be non-bold). o tz’u: K’IN. o HA’: cross-hatched circle. o “IMIX”: cross-hatched circle or LEM-like element (usually distinguished from HA’ by the blood cartouche). · Stuart-GfRaLp3.para2.l-3 entertains the possibility that this is tz’e derived from TZ’EH (meaning “right” as in “right vs. left”).
Sub-variants (1) · A. Only form: o Top: “butterfly” variant of ma o Bottom – boulder, with inside: § Top: bold curved V with dotted reinforcement on the bottom § Bottom: blades of grass (optionally paired)
