· The example for K1609 is from a photograph in the archive of the MMA (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City): https://images.metmuseum.org/CRDImages/ao/original/DP-23101-003.jpg.
· The toponym Ihk’ Waynal is a mythical place. It is one of the places which connect the human world with the Watery Underworld.
· MHD has 8 hits for “blengl contains ihk’ waynal”, of which 5 are in the examples above.
· Usage:
o K791 PSS-13 / N1: the owner of this drinking vessel drinks from this vessel only when he is the personification of Mixnal Winkil, the (name of the) Lord of Ihk’ Way Nal.
o K1609 F1: meaning unclear to me – it’s part of a phrase which includes two toponyms, namely Ihk’ Way Nal and Ihk’ Nahb Nal.
o LAC Panel 1 N5: the reference is (probably) to the birthplace of the protagonist of this inscription – Aj Sak Teles, the sajal of “Trophy-Head Jaguar” (the latter apparently a ruler of Xukalnaah and Ak’e, different from “Trophy-Head Jaguar” I and II, earlier rulers of YAX) – unusual as the birthplace of a real-life figure, because it’s primarily a mythical place.
o QRG Stela J D17: an additional name/title in the extended name/title of K’ahk’ Tiliw Chan Yopaat, ruler of QRG.
o YAX HS Step 7 G5: the place in mythical time where the third of three victims was decapitated.
