·    MHD has 8 hits for “blengl contains ihk’ waynal”, all of which given as examples above.

o In QRG Stela F B14a and QRG Stela J D17, the IHK’ is infixed into the “bay” of the WAY.

o In QRG Stela F B14a:

o The na as an initial phonetic complement of NAL comes directly under the two top “leaves”. This is unusual, as NAL doesn’t usually have an initial phonetic complement.

o The la as an end phonetic complement of NAL is at the very bottom, quite a common position for it to be in (separated from NAL because the main body of NAL has been covered by the WAY).

o In QRG Stela J D17, the right leaf of NAL extends, unusually, down the entire right side of the glyph-block, to the right of the WAY.

·    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. (lost reference – Tokovinine lecture?)

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 (perhaps a real settlement named after the mythical place?).

o NTN Mural Text 19 A3-A4L pakax Ihk’ Waynal = “walk around Ihk’ Waynal” – this appears to be another real toponym named after a mythical one [Sim: “go to Ihk’ Waynal and come back” / “go on a visit to Ihk’ Waynal”?]

o QRG Stela A C9: Ihk’ Waynal Ajaw – an additional name/title of K’ahk’ Tiliw Chan Yopaat, ruler of QRG.

o QRG Stela F B14a: something happened at Ihk’ Waynal.

o QRG Stela J D17: Ihk’ Waynal Ajaw – an additional name/title of K’ahk’ Tiliw Chan Yopaat, ruler of QRG.
