·     This is a toponym found in connection with the PNG polity.

o The name k’ina’ probably comes from K’IN + HA’ = “sun (e.g. bright?) water”, with the loss of the internal -h-.

o It is often written as K’ina in English translation (without the final glottal stop) but I try to consistently write K’ina’ (as I do Yaxha’, in acknowledgement of its etymology). I’m inconsistent in that I write the etymological -h- in Yaxha’ but not in K’ina’, but this is really to reflect common usage, which also has this inconsistency.

·     Found in the name of:

o The sculptor of the LTI Kimbell Panel: Mayuy Ti’ Chuween Aj-K’ina. This gives pause for thought, as the LTI Kimbell Panel was carved to commemorate a vassal of YAX: it is slightly unexpected that the carver is someone not just from a rival polity, but from PNG – the historical archenemy of YAX (pointed out in a presentation, perhaps Houston or Martin (lost reference)).

o The little daughter born to Ix Naman Ajaw of PNL: Ix Juun Tahn Ahk, Ix K’ina’ Ajaw.
