·    No glyphs given in K&H.

·    Pronunciation is uncertain – K&L and TOK have question marks, but not BMM9.

·    Lopes-SNoF is a 15-page paper (including figures and references):

o It discusses the iconography of fireflies in Maya art (both monumental and ceramic).

o It explains (Lopes-SNoF.p4.pdfp4.para-3, after Coe-TMSaHW) that the characteristics of fireflies (in the iconography) are:

§ A somewhat atypical skull (with an elongated 'beak').

§ An AK'AB sign in the forehead.

§ Disembodied eyes attached to the skull.

§ Long wings with AK'AB markings.

§ A bulbous appendix in the firefly's abdomen.

§ A cigar held in the hand or in the mouth. This last feature clearly invokes the insect's ability to produce light.

o It’s the first paper to propose a reading for a previously undeciphered glyph, in the context of a mythical creature KUHKAY EK’.

·    Some parallels to ha:

o KUHKAY: skull with “flames” element on the left.

o ha: skull with “asymmetric knot” element on the left.

·    Features of the skull:

o A “darkness” element as a skullcap.

o % sign on cheek or back of head.

o Large eye with dot pupil.

o 2-3 teeth, either hanging from a slightly curved m as an upper jaw, or sitting on a bone-jaw as a lower jaw.

o Optionally with “flames” emanating from the left side (replacing the knot on the left).

o Optionally, a “disembodied eyeball”, attached to the forehead (i.e. top left).
