·      Martin-WaD is the paper in which Martin argues for the meaning “daughter of (father)”.

·      The readings of YATIK in Martin-WaD are not based on the Linda Schele drawing (given in Martin-WaD.p1.fig1), but instead on his own re-drawings (given in p4.fig4a-c), which show the “tadpoles” much more clearly in the CRN “Dallas Altar” G5, K1a, and T1a.

·      TOK does not commit to a pronunciation, but gives only “?”.

·      MHD and Bonn both give ATIK instead of YATIK.

·      Variants (3):

o A. Human head with “tadpoles” swimming around it:

o B. The human head can be replaced by an element which resembles a le:

§ With the “tadpoles” around it, it is T831 and TOK.p18.r3.c4.

o C. MHD.ZTA.2 is a very different looking variant, where the “tadpoles” have become wavy lines.
