·     Cloth was a known item of tribute, as recorded on K1728 (and many other Maya vases).

·     On K1728, the ruler Lamaw Ek’ of Ik’a speaks animatedly to his guests about yubte’ as tribute (Raven, personal communication 2022).

·     HoustonEtAl-TMoB.p243.c1.para1.l+9 (discussing K1728): Another tributary scene, on a vessel from the area of Lake Peten Itza, uses the same term in a historical setting (Fig. 7.23): cloth tribute is mentioned (yubte’, a kind of textile held by a courtier to viewer’s left).

·     The word occurs twice on K1728, one of the times with the glyphs in an unexpected sequence (and with the ch’o:ko quite far from the rest): AJ.{y}u TE’.bu ch’o:ko è aj yubte ch’ok = “he of the tribute cloth, youth”.

·     I’m unsure whether the y- is intrinsically present or the result of a possessive prefix on a word beginning with a vowel. As underspelling of u- is a known (but not common) phenomenon, I’m currently inclined to the former (intrinsically yubte’), with y- underspelled when absent.
