Houston Panel B5
· The 4th day of the Tzolk’in calendar.
· Variants (1):
o A. The logogram OHL/WAAJ in a blood cartouche.
· Houston Panel B5 shows a very unusual form of K’AN:
o An unclear form of the LEM-like element hanging from the ceiling is present, and the concentric circles appear to be a variation on the “lipped-U on two pillars” present in more conventional forms of K’AN.
o We nevertheless know that this is K’AN because the LC is clear and the CR corresponding to it requires that the Tzolk’in day-name be K’AN.
o It certainly helps that the glyph at B5, though not obviously K’AN, is not entirely incompatible with such a reading.
