§ Of the 18 hits of “blsem contains Glyph B” and “blengl does not contain young” and “bllogosyll does not equal _”, the two “arms” of K’ABA’ embrace:

·       Syllabogram a (to explicitly spell the final glottal stop of K’ABA’): 2 hits.

·       Muluk-u (syllabogram lo rotated 90 degrees clockwise): 3 hits.

·       K’UH (the “default” element embraced by the two arms of K’ABA’): 2 hits.

·       Other (glyph is visible but it’s uncertain what is written): 4 hits.

·       Eroded or no drawing: 7 hits.

In other words, practically all occurrences of Glyph-B are uch’ok k’aba’.

·     Glyph-B is optionally present when Glyph-X is present, but can be absent when Glyph-X is present. However, if Glyph-B is present, then Glyph-X is always also present. This is because giving the name (= Glyph-X) doesn’t require also stating that that’s the name (= Glyph-B), whereas stating “(this is) his youthful name” (= Glyph-B) without giving the name (= Glyph-X) wouldn’t make any sense.

·     The examples give the full range of variation in the ways of writing Glyph-B:

o With the logogram CH’OK:

§ If the ko end phonetic complement is present, then it is always written infixed along the bottom, under the “spectacles” and covering the “teeth”.

o With the syllabograms ch’o and ko:

§ The ko can be infixed (covering the ear, on the right of the entire head, or even covering the mouth).

§ The ko can be below the ch’o.

§ The ko can be to the right of the ch’o.

It goes without saying that the u can be above or to the left of the rest.
