PET.ne IX:<<PET.ne>:AJAW> PET:ni
· EB.p148.pdfp153.#9: spelled PET-ne, but no glyphs given (as is usual for EB).
· Originally, I thought of this as being PET = “round” with some derivational suffix – the “round thing in a lake or sea” = “island”. But while it isn’t unheard of for an island to be “round”, most islands would have an irregular shape (viewed from above). Furthermore, the Classic Maya may not have viewed islands (or other geographical features) as being viewed from above, as when creating or reading a map. So perhaps this spelling is more a case of PET acting as a rebus, combined with ne to write peten.
