[Aztlan] Glyphe T812

[D. M. Urquidi]

If you are referring to the third glyph to the right of the number 13 at tthe top of M 20-C
   that is very similar and includes the blazing sun or star above the netting in the middle.
   
  Itr can be found iin M 102-B over, both the human and the death god but Villacort & Villacort ID this glyph with the verbal suffix T181 having the loose translation "to weave"  (Kelley p. 157-8) even though the phonetics say: To comb the wool, to divide.  In weaving, one must separate the warp-  in order to put the weft thread over and under the warp threads. It makes sense to say they are weaving.
   
  On M102-B under each of these glyphs is a female person and a death god and both are weaving. The blazing star unit (also found on M 37 in the numbers of M-39-C. So there might be a connection with the fiery image of the "sun" that is also a star.
  The previous pages show 8 days empty then serpents with days going to the left and on to the next pages.  The icons only fit the sequence from left to right.not the direction the serpents are traveling. Does this mean that the calendar had to be altered??
   
  Thompson says it may be the glyph as the head of a death deity that he gave as a separate number (T812) (Kelley p.67.)
   
  Hope this helps.

Crossover calendar.

The Glyphe T812, with an unknown meaning, 

is used twice in each frame in the glyphic text above.

I see resemblance with the Ku Glyph (T528).

Rain clouds below (the so called bunched grapes), 

and the Sun above, flanked with Ya or Ye Glyphs (T125).

Maybe we have here a variation of the Yax Glyph (T16,528).
