The symbol No. 9 (U) of the preceding list is found repeatedly on vases and also as a prefix to both simple and compound characters. As _U_ in Maya signifies "moon," "vase," and certain pronouns and is also used as a euphonic particle before vowels, we are perhaps justified in concluding that the symbol is phonetic and denotes the word _U_. I am aware that neither Perez nor Dr. Brinton gives "vase" as one of the meanings of this word, yet its constant appearance on vessels seems to leave no doubt that Brasseur is correct. Even admitting that he is mistaken and that we are in error as to the signification of the symbol, its various uses justify the belief that it is phonetic. The symbol No. 34 of the preceding list, which is supposed to be that of the god Ekchuah, is probably phonetic. The name of this deity is composed of two Maya words, _ek_, "black," and _chu_, "calabash," and hence signifies "the black calabash," and the form and coloring of the symbol are apparently intended to denote this signification. If this interpretation be correct it is phonetic, as there is nothing in or pertaining to the figure of the deity which corresponds with it, except the color. If the interpretation given of the preceding symbols Nos. 22, 24, 26, 27_a_, and 33 be correct, there can be scarcely a doubt that they are phonetic. In the first--_cacau_, _cacauak_, or _cacauche_, the "cacao"--we see Landa's letter _Ca_, which is doubled in each of the three forms taken from the different codices. In the twenty-sixth--_Kukuitz_, the Quetzal--Landa's _Ku_ is duplicated, as it should be if phonetic, while in 27_a_, _Kuch_, it appears but once. There is here also an additional evidence of phoneticism in the fact that, while one of the symbols used to denote this bird shows simply its head, and is surely not phonetic, the other is entirely different and bears no resemblance whatever to any feature or characteristic of the bird. Moreover, both parts of it are used in other combinations referring to entirely different things.
