Author Description

Excerpt from Central American Hieroglyphic Writing Passing on to S 10, T 10, we find another date, the glyph S 10, being the symbol for the day 11 Lamat, and glyph T 10, the symbol for the month Xul with the numeral character for 6 at the left. For the days mentioned reference can be made to fig. 5 and for the months to fig. 4. However, for the illustration the names Of the days and the months are not essential, but are added here to avoid using blanks. It will be observed that above and below the little dot in the numeral characters at the side of each of these glyphs is a little semicircle or crescent. These, which might be mistaken for number dots, have no significance, but are used to fill out the space or to guard the dot.
