·    This nickname “aged deity with hands” is taken from MHD’s description of the iconography.

·    It is currently undeciphered and the reading is not known.

·    According to MHD it occurs almost exclusively in the deity name / title HA’-“ADWH”-EK’ è Ha’ ? Ek’ – a search in MHD on “blcodes contains MB5” yields 11 hits:

o 9 of these hits are confidently read as Ha’ ? Ek’.

o In fact, TIK Stela 3 B9 is one of the 2 remaining occurrences of “ADWH” not associated with Ha’ ? Ek’.

·    However, there still exists some doubt as to whether T233a and T233b are actually the same glyph. Sergei Vepretskii says that T233.1 is a baby (it looks helpless), and notes that T233.2 is probably not the same glyph as T233.1 (the head is not that of a baby).

·    I’ve split the original drawings into two sub-groups:

o The “bare-headed baby/skull” with a circular element in the top right.

o The old man with headdress.

The two examples given here (both from TIK) seem to be the latter.
