·    No glyphs given in K&H, K&L, TOK, 25EMC.

·    The BMM9 example is taken from PAL Tablet of the 96 Glyphs G3 (with <BAAK:le> and the end phonetic complement of la removed).

·    The readings of PAL Tablet of the 96 Glyphs I2 and PAL TFC H3/O3 are given in Boot-AtCoINYKM.p33.para5.l-4 (apparently, H3 was according to an older glyph-block labelling, superceded by O3).

·    The reading of PNG Stela 25 F2 is given in Pitts-BHPN.p44.

·    Stuart-PTotS is the article with glyph examples from PAL Tablet of the 96 Glyphs (G3 and I2) for the title Baakel Waywal, where I2 shows Waywal spelled in the more common and familiar style of wa-WAY-wa-la while G3 shows a logogram with la as the final phonetic complement. This substitution enables the reading of the logogram as WAYWAL. Another two instances of a logogram spelling of WAYWAL are on PAL TC Q3 and U14.

·    Baakel Waywal is a phrase, but Waywal itself can either be written with:

o WAYWAL – features an anthropomorphic head with:

§ A protrusive lower lip.

§ (Optionally) a thin, cross-hatched “crescent” (nearly 2/3 of a full circle) surrounding the eye (tips pointing left. i.e. surrounding the eye on the top, right, and bottom).

§ (Optionally) slightly curved / floppy (S or mirror-image Z) snake-like element running from the top right to the bottom left of the head.

§ (Optionally) wa end phonetic complement.

o Phonetically, using WAY = “sleep”, “dream as a rebus – WAY-wa-la, with wa and la coming after the WAY.
