·     The glyph for the “Knot site” (“KS”) toponym has not been deciphered – it has no proposed meaning nor reading.

·     MHD treats the long rectangular element above the knot (resembling the top element of PAT = “make” / “shape” / “form” / “build”) as an integral part of the glyph whereas Bonn allows a variant with this element missing (1665bb).

·     Nelson-PhD.p30.pdfp46.fig2.7, Nelson-PhD.p32.pdfp48.fig28, Nelson-PhD.p33.pdfp49.fig2.9 is a series of three maps covering a period from 641 AD to 759 AD showing that “KS” lay directly to the south-east of (and adjoining) the territory controlled by BPK/LAC. These maps are based entirely on the less colourful equivalents in Anaya-SIaPG.p69.pdfp80, Anaya-SIaPG.p74.pdfp85, Anaya-SIaPG.p76.pdfp87 respectively.

·     However, Beliaev&Safronov-SAaX.slide#27 seems to directly disagree with this, as there is a huge red X over the polity designated as “KS” by the aforementioned maps.

·     Wherever it might have been located, “Uub/U‘b” Bahlam – nicknamed “Knot-Eye Jaguar” or “Trophy-Head Jaguar” – was said to have been “Aj KS”. He was at some stage the acknowledged ruler of Ak’e and Xukalnaah.

·     Do not confuse this glyph with the visually similar YOMOOTZ:

o “KS” consists of only a “droopy” knot or “bow”, with optional rectangular element (optionally with an element between the two drooping-down ends).

o YOMOOTZ resembles many “upside-down U” bands (straw?) bound together with one or two horizontal bands (and these bands do not have a knot in them).

·     Do not confuse this glyph with the visually similar (“abstract”/“symmetric” variant of) MUT:

o “KS” consists of only a “droopy” knot or “bow” (optionally with an element between the two drooping down ends).

o The “abstract” variant of MUT resembles many “upside-down U” bands (straw?) bound together with one horizontal strip of cloth tied with a knot in the centre. The long (main) part of the cloth is horizontal (and presumably goes all the way around the back of the “straw bundle”). Only in a few instances are there an additional two droopy ends – such instances make MUT resemble “KS” more, but MUT always has the cloth band horizontal going around the back, which “KS” never has – “KS” consists “only of the knot itself”: the knot doesn’t bind anything together, in contrast to the horizontal band or bands in MUT which bind the inverted-U’s together. See MUT = “Tikal (EG)” for more information.

·     Do not confuse this glyph with the visually similar (curved/“floppy” variant of) che: the ends of “KS” droop downwards, whereas the ends of che curve upwards.
