·    Variants (2):

o A. Human head with HA’ (water) in the mouth.

o B. Small-graph (3-component) TI’ (i.e. a mouth) above HA’ (water).

·     The iconographic origin of this logogram is pretty obvious: a human head with water in its mouth. In the more abstract variant, it’s just the juxtaposition of “mouth” and “water”.
