o Similarities:

§ Top: reduced (“butterfly”) variant of ma.

§ Middle: one or two horizontal bars.

o Differences –LAM:

§ Has MIH on the bottom while tza has: “lemon outline” or “gearwheel” or “boulder outline”.

§ Mnemonic: LAM is decreasing to MIH (zero) – logograms belong with logograms.

o However, in both cases LAM or tza, the bottom element loses part of its top outline, in joining to the horizontal bar(s).

·     In the closing presentation of the UTA-MAM 2021, Stuart explained that the meaning of LAM is not the traditional “diminish” but instead “calm” -> “healthy”. It is included along with YAX and K’AN (and JUUN-IXIIM, spondylus shell) in a series of stucco panels at PAL, where each panel has one of these glyphs around the border. They all convey godly beneficence.
