MC

 

MC                                

 

·    The 6th day of the Tzolk’in calendar.

·    Variants (2):

o A. Mirror imaged %-sign.

o B. CHAM = “death”

·    Do not confuse (the skull-variant of) KIMI with EB. They are both skull-based day names, but the distinguishing characteristic of EB is the “left half of a crescent” (with the left tip pointing down) and with a dotted protector (usually in the top right or right). This crescent is not present in KIMI, which has instead (optionally) a %-sign.
