| The single surviving reference to Popol Tz'i contains a second glyph, which reads B'a Cheb'. The word cheb' is the word for a feather brush or quill pen, and occurs in texts accompanying scenes of painters and scribes. B'a means (among other things) 'first' or 'head', and occurs as prefix to several titles, such as B'a Ch'ok, 'First Youth', B'a Sajal, 'First Sajal'', B'a Uxul, 'First Sculptor', and so on. It is most likely, then that the glyph B'a Cheb' is a title meaning something like 'First Scribe' or 'Head Scribe'. Coe and Kerr 1997:98 cite Nikolai Grube, Linda Schele, and Mary Miller for the original identification of the B'a Cheb' glyph. |
