·    MHD glosses this as jub, but I’m writing only huub, due to the full syllabogram spelling, which has hu-bi.

·    It’s hard to say what HUUB is doing (twice) on YAX Lintel 1 (B10 and J3), especially in the second occurrence, which seems to be an EG – both morphologically (as a glyph-block) and syntactically (in its position within the sentence).
