· No glyphs given in K&H.
· In “BPK ScS.5”, the “ScS” stands for “Sculptured Stone”. There are five such known sculptured stones, in MHD designated as objabbr = BPKSS01, BPKSS02, BPKSS03, BPKSS04, BPKSS05.
· Stuart-VHtPNoB is the paper which first proposes the readings usiij / us. [get more examples from the paper]
· The blcode in MHD for USIIJ is MHD.BV2. A search in MHD on “blcodes CONTAINS BV2” gives 10 hits, 9 of which are in connection with the toponym Usiij Witz. The remaining hit is in connection with a deity name. I.e. as is so often the case with words for animals, they are all in connection with names with a “vulture” component, not in connection with describing an actual real-life vulture.

· The YAX HS3 Step 1 & YAX Lintel 46 examples are both in the context of the name Aj K’an Usiij “He of (the) Yellow Vulture”, the name of a captive of Kokaaj Bahlam III.
· K&H even suggests that K’an Usiij may refer to a specific kind of vulture – K&H.p119.pdfp121.#1: [usiij =] “vulture” type unspecified, though prefixed by the colour k’an “yellow” as “yellow vulture” may relate to King Vultures (Sarcoramphus papa).
