·     BeliaevEtAl-LTJM.p201.pdfp25.para-1 (with reference to CRN Panel 1) [Spanish to English via Google Translate]: The interpretation of this phrase as a ceremony involving the prince of Kanul (probably the future Yich'ak K'ahk’ who at this time was 24 years old), is based on the tentative reading of the verb in H8 as ch'u?-ba-ja, ch'uhbaj (?), “it was put”. Possibly one of the "seven youths" was Yook Akan. [Sim: this is in reference to Yook Akan of CRN having been summoned to CLK by Yuknoom the Great of CLK.]

·     PragerEtAl-DDe3D.p86.pdfp86.para-3 (with reference to CRN Panel 1) [Spanish to English via Google Translate]: The reading of the syllable ch'u in block H8 follows an unpublished proposal by Yuriy Polyukhovych, made in 2009; see the Ch'oltí word ch'ubin, "to put" (Morán 1935: 50) and the Yucatec Mayan k'ub, "to give, dedicate, deposit, bestow, give something to another" and "give a woman to a man and husband to the wife "(Barrera Vásquez 1980: 416-417).

·     Bíró-PNP3.p304.pdfp14.para3-p309.pdfp19.para1 (more than four pages!) argues for a transliteration of “BAT”[T528] (i.e. the head of a leaf-nosed bat conflated with “KAWAK”) as ch’u, citing – among 5 other examples – PNG Panel 3: <a.ch’u bi:ji> è ach’úbij = “you delivered it, you handed it over, you entrusted it, etc”. [Sim: CRN Panel 1 H8 is not included in those 6 examples, because the spelling of a form of ch’ub there is not written with “BAT”[T528], but instead, with different variant of ch’u (the “abstract” / “grip-and-LEM” one).]
