· Tuszyńska-ALatEGIT.p2.pdfp2.para2: I find it intriguing that GI’s title is attached to the names of women. As in the well-known “vase title” [Sim: a.k.a. “IOT”], the “GI title” is always placed in front of the nominal phrase and this special placement is due to the divine reference it is implying. It was Linda Schele (1994) who first drew attention to this glyph block, which precedes the name of Lady Sak K’uk’ on the Oval Palace Tablet at Palenque.
· Tuszyńska-ALatEGIT.p3.pdfp3.para-1: A most intriguing fact is she is mentioned in the parentage statement on [TIK] Stela 31 (Figure 5) erected by her son, the next Tikal ruler. Here, after the relationship expression ya-AL-la, yal (the child of woman) we do not find the typical glyph ix for a woman. Instead, yal is followed directly by the “GI title” and the glyph representing the head of the deity known as Jaguar God of Underworld [CHUWAJ], an aspect of the Sun God K’inich Ajaw, and it is the reason why the word K’inich is used as the lady’s nickname.
