Glyphs Z and Y of the Maya Supplementary Series
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 January 2017
Extract
The Supplementary Series at Yaxchilan is characterized by the presence of two glyphs usually absent at other sites. The two are commonly known as the “extraneous glyphs,” but this is rather a misnomer, for at this site they form an apparently integral part of the lunar count. In this paper, we are assigning the letter Z and Y as names for the two glyphs.
