K2796 I K5452 K2
ke:KELEM ke:KELEM
· No glyphs given in TOK (sic).
· Basic meaning is “strong”, used often in the titles (Chak) Ch’ok Kelem = “(great) youth strong one” and Baah Kelem = “first strong one”, and so by association means “strong youth”. See also Chak Ch’ok Kelem.
· The glyph-block reference for K2796 is I if the ALAY of the PSS is seen as column A; in the photograph I is the last full glyph-block.
· The glyph-block reference for K5452 is K2 if the ALAY of the PSS is seen as column A; in the photograph on the mayavase.com site, K2 is the 4th full glyph-block from the right.
· Features:
o Iconographic origin is the head of a monkey.
o (Optionally) a hand to the left of the monkey head, apparently with the thumb in the mouth.
o (Optionally) vertical oval with three vertical non-touching dots in the top right (top of back of head).
o (Optionally) fancy ear.
· Sources seem to differ as to whether the hand is an integral part of the logogram. K&H and MHD apparently do consider it a part of the logogram while K&L, BMM9, and 25EMC apparently don’t. Under the latter interpretation, if there is a hand present, it can be considered as the syllabogram ke, acting as an initial phonetic complement of KELEM.

CLK Structure Sub1-4 EsN-LtE2 caption
<ke.le>:ma
· CLK Structure Sub1-4 has a pure syllabogram spelling of KELEM. Martin-HftPP.p72.pdfp7.c2.para2: The adjoining EsN-LtE2 supplies the image of an adolescent male who is intermediate in height between the adults and infant of NE-N2 (see Figure 27 for the composite scene). His age is confirmed by his caption of ke-le-ma for keleem “young man” (Figure 29).
· It is possible that the JM drawing is actually of the CLK Structure Sub1-4 pure syllabogram spelling of kelem but this is not entirely clear.
