·    Used in the phrase chanal k’uh kabal k’uh = “celestial gods and terrestrial gods”.

·    JM uses an older transliteration with -aa- as CHAAN, and there is a typo of K’UL instead of K’UH.

·    The paper edition of JM has JM.p51#3 which is a very interesting / creative rendition with <[CHAN]K’UH>:NAL, but unfortunately that wasn’t taken across to the online version (edited by Christophe Helmke).
