· Glyph-F forms one of the standard components of the SS.
· It is a standard, “ formulaic” phrase and its meaning is not entirely clear. It is sometimes translated as “the edge of the book” (whatever that means).
· Sources:
o K&H doesn’t give examples of Glyph-F.
o MC examples are a strict subset of K&L – the first 5, identical, and in exactly the same order.
o K&L has human head and full-figure variants as well.
o TMHW.pdfp432.F gives 11 examples.
· Variation:
o The variants are listed roughly the order of “intuitiveness” or “appropriateness” of the element for writing the word HUUN (which is obviously a very subjective ranking).
o There is also variation in the form of TI’: either the long rectangular, 3-element variant or the head variant.
o The na – as a phonetic complement – is of course optional. When present, there is further variation in its form: either the basic syllabogram na, or the head variant.
o Initial u:
§ The two examples from the Randel Stela have an u at the start and a li at the end.
§ DPL Stela 5 N1 and YAX Stela 6 A7 have an u at the start but no li at the end.
This is rare but not strange, because the full phrase is u-ti’-huun-il, but -il can always be underspelled.
· There are 6 variants of HUUN in the context of Glyph-F:
o A. Knot – one of the most common variants.
o B. Book.
o C. hu – the rotated head of an Iguana – this is a syllabogram-only spelling hu-na.
o D. “WINIK” (nevertheless read as HUUN). WINIK pronounced HUUN in a non-SS context:
IC.p22
SAK:HUUN:K’AL tu.<u:BAAH>
o E. “Jester God”.
o F. “TZ’IKIN” / bird head.

HUUN.<TI’:na>
· The knot variant: it can be an asymmetric or a symmetric knot, but asymmetric seems more common.
· YAX Lintel 48 D7 seems to have a k’i as the first of the 3-element component at the top.
· QRG Stela K B5 seems to have an additional “po” in the top left of B5b. Also, the two flanking elements of the TI’ are crescents (with tips pointing down), making it resemble a ya, but from context it is clearly a TI’.
· K&L.p66.#1.10
o Head variant of TI’ (normally, the abstract 3-component variant) – the head incorporates some of the “reduced” elements of the more abstract form inside, at the top (the three small elements at the top of the more common TI’ variant).
o The HUUN is vertical, coming after the TI’.
· In CPN HS Date 24, the main sign is the full-figure variant of na, i.e., the phonetically least significant part of the spelling of ti’ huun is the largest and most elaborate glyph in the glyph-block.
· The glyph-block reference given by TMHW.pdfp432.F.64 is YAX Stela 11 O1b, but MHD shows this as YAX Stela 11 N1b. This might be a typo on the part ot TMHW, or simply a slightly different system of glyph-block labelling. In any case, these two drawings are probably of the same glyph-block on the same monument.

· In DPL Stela 8 B6, the TI’ has been omitted: this is rare, but possibly also in K&L.p66.#1.9 = Gronemeyer-GGF.p12.pdpf12.fig11.k (the “book” glyph could be read as TI’ (e.g. TLA Stela B A7), but probably not in this case, because we have a na phonetic complement); Sim: include Fig12 examples in this document

· The TZ’IKIN/bird-head (with infixed CH’AB) variant.
· There appears to be a tendency for a “cruller” to appear in connection with the eye of the bird.
