·    JOL / “head” and the skull variant of CHAM / “die” both share the fact that they look like a skull.

·    Note: not “head”, which is BAAH, but specifically “skull” Really? I’m still unsure – the glyph looks like a skull (is in fact, of course, the drawing of a skull), but there must be some contexts where it’s used to mean “head”. The ruler’s name Nu’un Jol Chaak surely means “Stammering Head Chaak” rather than “Stammering Skull Chaak”?

·    Dorota Bojkowska: caution K&L.p24.#2.7 is probably XIM and not JOL – what are the diagnostics?

·    Features:

o Nose depression.

o No ear (present in CHAM).

o No % element (helps to distinguish it from CHAM, which has optional %).

o No bottom jaw (helps to distinguish it from CHAM, which has bone-jaw).

o 2-4 teeth from top jaw, hanging downwards from an upper jaw, which is not a bone-jaw (helps to distinguish it from CHAM, which has teeth resting on the top of a lower jaw, which is a bone-jaw).

o Optional oval with 3 dots or tiny dots (shared with CHAM, though more common in JOL) – the 3 dots or tiny dots can also be inside the eye or inside the eye protector.

o Dorota Bojkowska: occasionally, there will be eyeball at the forehead – in the iconography, the God of Death has such an eyeball.

o “Kidney eye” (tips pointing upwards) + “cover” with 3 tiny dots inside.

o No lower jaw – bone jaw, which CHAM has.

o 3 tiny dots in a row, optionally in an oval or kidney-shaped protector, which CHAM (generally) doesn’t have.

·    Do not confuse this with the visually similar CHAM:

o JOL has no lower jaw – the upper teeth always hang from the upper jaw with nothing underneath them, whereas in CHAM, there is a lower jaw – either just the bottom part of the line surrounding the head, or an actual bone-jaw.
