· No glyphs given in K&H.
· The two variants of UT / HUT are each listed twice in BMM9:
o BMM9.p13.r1.c1 = BMM9.p16.r7.c2.
o BMM9.p13.r1.c2 = BMM9.p16.r7.c3.
· EB.p203.pdfp208.#6 gives that it could also be WUT? and gives 3 references to where it could be wu?-WUT?, glossing that as “eye, face”.
· K&H, K&L, BMM9 dictionaries all give hut as an alternative pronunciation, and also add the meaning “visage”.
· AT-YT2021-lecture13.t0:02:13-2:18: the slide says wuut for “eye, face”, but Tokovinine himself says: ut or hut is “eye”, but it can also mean “face” in general.
· Bonn recognizes it as a separate glyph, but does not assign a reading.
· Variants (2):
o A. “Boulder-u”-like:
§ One variant given by SJ is unique to SJ, possibly meant to be a flavour of the “boulder-u”-like one.
§ Dorota Bojkowska: caution – SJ.p322.#3.2 may be IL not UT as it seems to have inside an eye with optic nerve and the outer edge has a gap in the middle of the left, like IL.
o B. “3-triangle face”: note that the glyph given in BMM9.p13.r1.c1 is listed as an undeciphered glyph in K&L.p45:
§ Three “wedges” (= “pie slices”) = non-touching, forming 3/4 of a circle, with the fourth quarter missing.
§ Optionally, a triangular slit in the middle of the left side, with a non-touching dot in it. The dot might not be part of the logogram – so far seen only in real-life examples, not in any textbooks or workbooks. There variants are also suggestive of IL.
· The M&G and NAR Stela 47 examples both write the name of “Sky Witness”, an early ruler of Kaanul. It’s probably the “face” / “eye” aspect of logogram HUT which influenced the coining of the “Witness” part. [Sim: I wonder why this is not read as <UT/HUT>.<CHAN:na> èUh/Hut Chan.]
