Phoenix “Po” Panel B4

5:MULUK

 

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

·    Variants (5):

o A. mo.

o B. 90 degrees clockwise rotated lo.

o C. Gopher head: BAAH.

o D. Inverted vase: 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.

o E?. Phoenix “Po” Panel B4 doesn’t look like a MULUK, but 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. Perhaps it’s a variant of the gopher head (“C”)?
