·     AT-E1168-lecture6.t0:07:30 gives the pronunciation as buhk, which is at variance with the Wichmann-Lacadena rules. This is perhaps from linguistic reconstruction, based on the modern Mayan languages.

·     EB.p39.pdfp44.#2: buk “clothes” (but EB never gives long, aspirated, or glottalized vowels anyway), so this doesn’t constitute support for the short-u pronunciation.
