OL OL
· This is the same glyph as for WAAJ = “tamale”.
· There is possibly an attempt by K&H and K&L to separate out some variants as being only WAJ – the ones with two touching dots embedded in the bold ceiling (as opposed to round LEM-like element hanging from the ceiling or completely clear of it).
· Glyphs not given in K&L as WAJ, but given as OL.
· ZenderEtAl-SSw.p45.pdfp11.col2.para2.l+17: Classic Maya texts and iconography also indicate that human hearts were the principal food of the Sun God, but “the tamale was linked conceptually to the human heart” and “this organ or its symbolic substitutes may well have been the offering on the altar”.
· Variants (3):
o A. Stylized – features:
§ Top: (optionally bold) circle with (optionally bold) arc inside.
§ Middle: Lipped u.
§ Bottom: two supporting pillars:
· Optionally slightly curved (bow-legged, curving outwards).
· Optionally cross-hatched in between.
o B. Head: has the stylized variant infixed – this is not IX[OHL], the OHL has a variant which consists of a woman’s head, totally independent of IX.
o C. Moon-related: uncommon, given only by K&L and JM – arguably, these are a sub-variant of the stylized variant.
