·     This is a reading provided by Tokovinine in three places, all with regard to DO Unprovenanced Panel 2 (PAL) L1:

o Tokovinine-PaIiCMN.p29.pdfp38.para2.l-3: […] It also refers to the location as titz, possibly a “summit” or a “rock cliff.”

o Tokovinine-DaPiCMT.p253.pdfp3.para1.l+6: The very same place is also referred to as a “house” (naah), a “temple” (waybil), a “rock outcrop” (titz), and a “mountain” (witz).

o AT-YT2021-lecture15.t0:23:50: And then the text continues referring to the same event: och k'awiil "K'awiil enters" (ochi k’awiil) ta titz – “into the mountain outcrop” – “[the] rock outcrop” – which is Uhx Bolon Chaak. So we know that Uhx Bolon Chaak is a rock. So, somewhere on that mountain there is a holy rock, very much like in [unclear]. And in that rock, there is a spirit that people come to talk to and ask for rain. And that's the real owner of this land. And even kings of Palenque have to come, and only in front of that rock can they summon their own gods into [unclear]. And there's a shrine either around that rock or next to that rock. And Palenque kings have to talk to this god, [they] have to embrace this god, basically, in order to rule the land.

·     Unfortunately, Tokovinine does not give any further information about where the reading of ti-tzi è titz = “rock outcrop”, “rock cliff” comes from.

·     Maybe from modern Maya languages:

o Looked for but not found in Kaufman-APMED, under “rock”, “roca”, “piedra”, “titz”.

o Kaufman-APMED.p435.pdfp435 given as cumbre = “back of mountain”, “summit”:

§ TEK t-i7=wtz

§ MAMt t-i7=ws

§ MAMi t-i7=witz

However, TEK and MAM are not that closely relate to Ch’olan, and the phonetic similarly is not great.

·     Note: Modern Chuj titz'am is not connected with this titz. Hopkins-ADotCML.p314: titz'am, n. Salt mine, salt rights (< ti' 'atz'am). Literally, Mouth of the Salt.
