·    The 9th day of the Tzolk’in calendar.

·    Variants (4-5):

o A. “washer” (circular element, often bolded, with a small to medium-sized dot in the centre):

§ “PET”-like.

§ Not mo., because mo has actual dots on the circumference?

o B. 90 degrees clockwise rotated lo2:

§ This is one of the (quite common) variants of u, so this glyph is sometimes referred to as “MULUK-u”.

o C. Gopher head:

§ “BAAH”-like, but we don’t know if it was actually read as BAAH.

o D. Inverted vase:

§ An upside-down, very thin-lipped vase, with a “wood property marker” in the middle (= very slightly curved vertical line, going from slightly right of the centre at the top to very slightly left of centre at the bottom.

§ One could speculate if there’s any iconographic relationship to the “MULUK-u” of “B” above – they both have two vertically stacked, touching dots to the right of a slightly curved, more or less vertical line. The main differences are the lipped-vase outline and the absence of a dot in the left half, in the case of “D”, compared to “B”.

o E?. Phoenix “Po” Panel B4 is perhaps an animal of some sort, but it doesn’t look like a gopher (in particular, there’s no infixed K’AN in the lower right). The Haab date (coefficient and month name) and the Tzolk’in coefficient all match the LC, so there is every reason to accept the day name corresponding to the LC of this inscription as MULUK. Perhaps it’s a variant of the gopher head (“C”)?
