·     Houston-TLW.p27.l-1: […] people tied to the control of shields […].

·     Foias-AMPD.p120.l+15: In contrast, additional titles appear in the Bonampak murals but do not correlate with accession, suggesting honorifics rather than actual positions: baah took’ (“head person of the flint”), baah pakal (“head person of the shield”), baah tz’am (“head person of the throne”), and baah te’ (“head person of the tree-staff”; “head bailiff”) (Houston and Inomata 2009, 182–87, Figure 6.13; Houston 2008, 2012). Houston and Inomata (2009; Houston 2012) believe that although the functions of these four titles are not clear, the first two may relate to military officials, and the second two to poorly known functionaries or courtiers in civil service. The problem is that these titles appear so rarely, and it is hard to decipher their meaning (Houston and Inomata 2009; Houston 2008, 2012).

·     AT-YT2021-lecture24.t0:26:21-27:00 – mentioned as one of the many titles in the “military” half (as opposed to the “administrative” half) of the ruling structure: Head Shield – military captains in charge of regular warriors (those warriors would be mostly "youths"). Example glyphs shown.

·     Sim: the absence of an accession ceremony doesn’t necessarily mean that these are not titles – it could just be that the titles are too “minor” to warrant an actual ceremony.
