· Variants (5):
o A. Axe – long, rectangular outline – features:
§ Washer.
§ Axe-blade with internal reinforcement on the long and outside edges, with 2 touching dots.
o B. Boulder – features:
§ Asymmetric cave with reinforced ceiling.
§ Curved vertical band (sometimes just line).
§ 2 touching dots at half-height, on one side (the side which curves out).
o C. Axe + Boulder: Axe variant on top of Boulder variant.
o D. CH’ICH’-like / “JELLYFISH”-like (though probably related to neither of them):
§ Optionally, above the top – a hand-like element:
· Left: (optionally bold) left feeler with protector.
· Right: hand with fingers.
§ Top: (optionally bold) inverted lipped-U ceiling.
§ Bottom (the “wood property marker”):
· Curved vertical band (sometimes just line).
· 2 touching dots at half-height, on one side (the side which curves out).
§ Do not confuse this with “MIJIIN”. They don’t really resemble one another that much:
· This one has two indentations about 1/3 and 2/3 of the way along the bottom (“CH’ICH’-like” / blood-cartouche), which “MIJIIN” never has.
· “MIJIIN” has an AJAW-face in the centre, which this one never has (instead it has the “wood” element).
§ Interestingly, BMM9.p21.r6.c1 lists it as a separate logogram, pronounced YET (with no question mark). Perhaps there has been some convincing recent research which argues that this glyph – which has long been seen as a variant of TE’ – is in fact a different logogram.
o E. Head – also referred to as the Pax God, Paax God, Pax Deity:
§ Eye: a large squarish eye:
· Note that 25EMC.pdfp46.#8.3 is not TE’ but “UHMAN”:
o The eye is not square and it has a scroll inside.
o The mouth region has two large and distinct scrolls , one going left and one going right.
Both these characteristics are typical for “UHMAN”.
§ Mouth: a CH’AB-like element.
· ZenderEtAl-SSw.p43.pdfp9.c1.l-11: itz’in te’ [itz’in] taaj […] “junior trees and junior obsidians.” […] This is almost certainly a reference to members of a ranked ritual order of priest-scribes.
