·    Used in the phrase chanal k’uh kabal k’uh = “celestial gods and terrestrial gods”.

·    The printed edition of JM reads this as K’U, without the -H. Surprisingly, this hasn’t been updated to K’UH in the online version (edited by Christophe Helmke). For the sake of uniformity, I have silently upgraded these transcriptions.
