· Features – three components always present:
o 1. K’AN-like (MHD.XQ2/“PCHK”):
§ There can be cross-hatching in 0 of 2 quadrants.
§ In the case of 0 quadrants of cross-hatching, this could be due to erosion, where the cross-hatching is no longer visible.
§ In the case of 2 quadrants of cross-hatching, they are in “opposite corners”, i.e., either the NW and SE quadrants or the NE and SW quadrants.
§ This undeciphered glyph has been given the nickname “Partially Cross-hatched K’AN” / “PCHK”.
o 2. AJAW-like – can be:
§ Reduced variant of AJAW (= “BEN-ICH” = BEN + po / po + BEN).
§ “Double BENs” – note that the BEN can have unusual variants as well.
o 3. Variable last element:
§ ji (hand variant).
§ yi (standard or hand variant).
· There are 13 instances of this variant of Glyph-X in MHD (2024-12-21):
o A search on “blcodes contains XQ2” gives 13 hits.
o A search on “blsem contains Glyph X01d” gives the same 13 hits.
I.e., the only known occurrences of MHD.XQ2/“PCHK” are in this particular variant of Glyph-X and all instances of this variant of Glyph-X have MHD.XQ2/“PCHK”. Of these 13 instances, there were:
§ ji (hand variant): 4 instances.
§ yi (standard or hand variant): 3 instances.
§ Other/indeterminate/none: 6 instances:
These statistics are based on my own visual examination and differs slightly from MHD’s transliteration of these 13 glyph-blocks.
