·    No glyphs given in K&H, K&L. The glyph given in BMM9.p14.r3.c3 (complete pronunciation not given) is not explicitly linked to the other examples here, but the similarity seems to justify it.

·    25EMC.pdfp52.#1 glosses this as “opening, wound”.

·    Almost all the examples are from Grube-ALfYW, which proposes a reading of YAH/YA, and meaning “to wound”, “injure”.

·    Features:

o Anthropomorphic head with a “stepped V” under the eye.

o Optional obsidian blade, acting as a kind of “signific” (it can be above or to the left).

·    Grube-ALfYW (2020) proposes YAH or YA, but Grube-WwH.p169 and Grube-WwH.p170.fig3.f (2021) has YA’.
