·    The sources which list this (IChttp:/​/​www.famsi.org/​mayawriting/​calvin/​glyph_​guide.pdf Hieroglyphic Decipherment Guide (Calvin; 2012), JMDictionary of Maya Hieroglyphs (Montgomery; 2002)) tend to list it as an independent noun meaning “door” or “doorway”. However, it’s worth realizing that this is probably more a derived noun: pas = a verb – “to open” è noun “an opening” è pas-il = a noun marked with special possession suffix. Perhaps there isn’t enough variation in all the different contexts for epigraphers to draw really strong conclusions about the form of the noun.
