Mayas; Indians of Mexico; Indians of Central America; Mayas; Indians of Mexico; Indians of Central America; Inscriptions, Mayan; Maya calendar. DECLARATIVE SIGXS. 101 result is obtained by putting an additional sign for 20 at the side. To illustrate what I believe to be the principal upon which glyphs were developed, I give here a series of signs showing the growth of this one from the time it is simply 18x20 = 360—the equivalent of an ahau—till it reaches its perfect form as a concise katun symbol:. Here it is made manifest that the part of it representing 18 is composed of two signs for 9. In the first three glyphs the three small circles denote the 9 that in the others is expressed by cross-hatching. The other 9, represented by the peculiarly arranged lines underneath, is constant throughout all the symbols. All the affixes are signs for 20, except that in the last glyph, which, as I have said, is a 20 sign increased twentyfold by striation. I have spoken of two declarative signs signifying that a date is the beginning of an ahau—the one accompanying the day Ahau, and the glyph consisting of two signs for 20, multiplied to make 400. They and the first of the subjoined list are the only ones I know that declare the beginning of an ahau in the abstract. Usually the specific number of the ahau is given, as shown in the rest of these signs :.
