·    No glyphs given in K&H.

·    Concerning the distinction between NIK and JANAAB, K&H.p36.fn44: The readings offered for both of these collocations are tentative as these include glyphic elements whose phonetic values are still debated. The first may be variously read as k’a[h]k’ tzih nik?, or k’a[h]k’nal nik?, where nik is a known term for “flower”, while in the other case the logogram may be read as janaahb, which based on other contexts also refers to a type of flower although a productive modern cognate is still wanting.

·    BMM9, K&H, K&L state that NIK is an unspecified flower while NIKTE’ is a mayflower.

·    Some uncertainty about whether it is read NIK or NIKTE’.

·    Features:

o Boulder with two parallel non-touching bars at the North, South, East, West extremities.

o The bars are usually cross-hatched, pointing inwards but not reaching all the way to the centre.

o Central dot, not touching any of the bars.

o Optionally: “flames” element at the top [Sim: representing the fragrance of the flower].

·    NIK is in some senses a “mirror image” of the stylized/boulder variant of JANAAB:

o In NIK, the four bars go from the outside not quite to the centre.

o In JANAAB, the four bars go from the centre not quite to the outside.
