·     No glyphs given in K&L, TOK, BMM9.

·     In AT-E1168-lecture6.t0:39:45, the slide shows “1” is read juun and “10”, “13”, “14”, “15”, … “19” are read -lajuun, i.e. all with a long-u (in connection with the bar-and-dot notation).

·     In AT-E1168-lecture6.t0:39:45, the slide gives huxlajuun for “13” (in connection with the bar-and-dot notation).

·     AT-E1168-lecture6.t0:40:20-41:06: There is some variation: there are two types of uncertain things. One is some initial consonants may be glides or may be not present at all, like uk or wuk or huk, or uklajuun or wuklajuun or huklajuun, same goes for ux or hux – we don’t know. Unfortunately, most of the time when numbers appear in Maya writing, they appear just as numbers – they don’t spell them phonetically, with very, very few exceptions. So when they do spell them or when they add phonetic complements, then we have some clues. It is also possible that some numbers were not spelled in exactly the same way – we have some evidence of dialects: differences in pronunciation between different Maya sites – it’s also possible that they pronounced them differently.

·     Chinchilla-ItCotMG.p438.pdfp15.para1.l+6: Stuart suggests a reading for its hieroglyphic name as Juun Witz’ Nah Kan. In the hieroglyphic script, the Water-Lily Serpent served as the head variant of the number thirteen, and it also substituted for the HAAB’ logogram. Several studies interpret it as symbolizing standing bodies of water. This may explain its association with the Maize God, who frequently appears in aquatic settings in ancient Maya art.

·     There are variants of “13” not based on either bars-and-dots or a human/god head or skull; instead, there is a WITZ’ (Waterlily Serpent) with, on top:

o A HUUN (“knot”/“bow”) infixed in or covering the top of the head (MC.p39.c2.r3.3, MHD.SS1a.1).

o A WINIK (perhaps a variant of HUUN) infixed in or covering the top of the head (MHD.SS3a.1, T1032ab, PAL TS A8a).

o A HA’ infixed in or covering the top of the head (MHD.SS2a.1&2, 1031st, T1031ab, PNG Panel 3 A6a). Sim: Pitts-BHPN.p133 describes this as “an avian version of the head glyph for the number 13”. “Avian” contradicts the idea that it’s the Waterlily Serpent – but the “beak” is probably what prompted Pitts’ description.

This is the only number with an additional (mythological monster) head variant. All other numbers are written either with bars-and-dots or with an (anthropomorphic) head variant. The above variants are the variants of the Waterlily Serpent, so in fact, the Waterlily Serpent is the monster-head variant of “13”.
