·    No glyphs given in K&H, BMM9.

·    As can be seen from the examples, it was regularly used to write the name of the god Yopaat = YOP-AAT-ta or YOP-AT-ta or YOP-a-AT-ta, as in the name of the CPN ruler Yax Pasaj Chan Yopaat. In older works, his name was rendered as Yax Pasaj Chan Yoaat. This was at a time before it was realized that the leaf glyph could be read as either YOP or yo (the latter obviously being derived from the former by the acrophonic principle).
