AJ i.<xi:ma>          

 

·     Martin-HftPP.p72.pdfp7.c1.para1.l-6: The full spelling is thus AJ i-xi-ma for aj ixiim “maize-kernel person.” The head of the Maize God has recently been read as logographic IXIM (Stuart 2006a:197), but this would be both the first syllabic rendition and the first reference to maize grain as a foodstuff.
