· Variants (3):
o A. Stylized – flint with bays – features:
§ 2 pools of water:
· The pools of water can be actual bays (i.e. no longer be completely within the outline of the glyph, but actually form part of the outline).
§ Separated by a (slightly curved) band:
· The curvature varies from very slightly curved S to completely straight.
· The band has optionally dotted reinforcement on both sides.
o B. Stylized – flint with “wavy-X” in the centre:
§ It consists of a rectangle with rounded corners, with a dot at each end – each dot is optionally protected by an arc on the inner side, either a solid or a dotted protector .
§ There is a “wavy-X” in the centre, reminiscent of the “wavy-X” in the Tzolk’in day name Etz’nab.
§ They perhaps represent tiny cracks and fissures in the surface of the flint?
This variant is not given in any of the 5 standard reference works, but is recognized by MHD as 1C1.3 and by Bonn as 0112st, both corresponding to T112.
o C. Representational – skull: this variant is given only by K&L, TOK, and BMM9.
· Beliaev&Houston-ASSIMW.p3 explains an interesting contrast between took’ and taaj: if took’, “flint,” inflicts the injuries of war, often in connection with the Sun God, obsidian, taaj, cuts flesh in acts of sacrifice.
