JATZ’                                                                                                                       JATZ’

 

·    No glyphs given in K&H.

·    Features: Canonically, a left hand holding a rock (K&L give one instance of a right hand).

·    There’s little doubt that this glyph is JATZ’. But the relationship between this “hand holding a rock” / JATZ’ and the “hand holding an atlatl” (sometimes read JATZ’OOM) is complicated. See JATZ’OOM.
