EB

 

·      No glyphs given in K&H.

·      Variants (2):

o A. Ladder – features:

§ Full form: four crossed sticks, lashed together by knots.

§ Reduced form: half to two thirds of the full form.

o B. Stairway – features:

§ Optionally with a ball (emphasizing that it’s a stairway as the ball can roll downwards).

§ Despite it being (presumably) a stone stairway, the “wood” element still appears inside it.

§ A very stylized version exists, which approaches a monster head.

·      S&Z explicitly says that both variants are read EHB.

·      Statistics:

o Ladder variant – an MHD search on “objabbr contains ZHC” gives 25 hits, with more than half being in the name of the TIK ruler Yax Ehb Xook.
