·     This god’s name is “fossilized” in the English rendition. According to modern insights it should probably be Balun (Y)okte’ K’uh.

·     Ebert&Prager-BYK is a paper which is devoted to discussing this god.

·     Ebert&Prager-BYK.p28.pdfp1:

o The meaning “numerous strides” was assigned by Thompson – it is obscure and should be treated as tentative.

o He is a god associated with war, periods of transition, and the underworld.

o References are made to him dating from 250 AD to 1800 AD.

o There is variation between Yok and Ok, and the presence or absence of K’uh, but they are correlated: there is a general tendency that it’s Ok when K’uh is absent, and Yok when K’uh is present (suggesting that the name means strides of the deity); however, there appear to be examples with K’UH without yo and vice versa.

·     The labelling of the sub-parts of Ebert&Prager-BYK.p28.fig2-1 is incorrect – the drawings labelled “a”, “b”, “c”, “d”, “e” should actually be associated with the sources given as “e”, “a”, “b”, “c”, “d” – I have adjusted the labels accordingly, in the examples here.

·     From the iconography of MAR Stela 1 and the unprovenanced stela from the Usumacinta region it can be seen that one distinctive characteristic of this deity is a rope around the neck with one loose end dangling down to about waist height (at the front of the body).

·     It is part of the name phrase of K’inich Janaab Pakal – Ebert&Prager-BYK.p29.pdfp2: K'inich Janaab' Pakal wears the same title six days later on the West Tablet of the Temple of Inscriptions (glyph P1).

·     Grofe-TNoGL is a paper which puts forward the theory that Bolon (Y)okte’ K’uh is the name of God-L.

·     K1398 is referred to in two papers: Grofe-TNoGL.p1-2 and Beliaev&Davletshin-lSNylPO.p38. However, the labelling of the two pairs of columns in Beliaev&Davletshin-lSNylPO.p38 is slightly confusing. In the extracted photo Beliaev&Davletshin-lSNylPO.p38.fig2, the first two columns are transcribed as C-D, and the next two columns are transcribed as A-B. Also, this black and white photograph is very difficult to use, and the colour version available from other sources is much more legible.

·     K2796 is mentioned in Ebert&Prager-BYK, but only the Bolon Okte’ is given in the example. On the vase itself, K’uh follows in the next glyph-block.

·     Sim:

o His association with periods of transition is why he appears in connection with the 13.0.0.0.0 Bak’tun period end on TRT Monument 6.

o His association with war ties in with his representation in the iconography as having a rope tied around his neck – a symbol of the taking of captives for sacrifice, during a war.

·     Do not confuse Bolon Okte’ K’uh (a supra-regional god) with Uhx Bolon Chaak (a god local to PAL only).
