A Maya glyph from Palenque signifying zero days. Chapter 2. . Writing Writing Numbers Numbers with with Glyphs Glyphs 34
MAYA HEAD GLYPHS The Maya usually had more than one way to write things. As we saw earlier, the Maya had some special glyphs for the number 0. In addition, the Maya used ‘head glyphs’ and ‘full body glyphs’ for the numbers from 0 to 19. First, let’s look at some head glyphs for the numbers. The following shows the most common head glyph for each number up to 19, together with a few clues on how to distinguish each one. We’ve also included in parentheses the ancient Maya word for each number. One (jun) – Young female goddess (possibly of the moon). Note the single long curling lock of hair along the jaw. Also, the ‘IL’ sign frequently appears on the cheek and there is an ornament on the forehead. Usually the forehead ornament (just behind the upper part of the nose) has more than one part. 35
