7. Yaxkin. This means “new sun” or “strong sun.” The glyph expresses this by the yax sign, “new” or “strong;” the kin (sun) sign and the dotted postfix, ual, month. According to the Dicc. Motul, the phrase dze yax kin was applied by the Mayas to the hottest part of the summer.
8. Mol. See remarks on the day sign muluc, p. 111. Dr. Förstemann suggests that the above designs represent either (1) a snail in its shell, or (2) an egg with its yolk, or (3) the sun after setting. Seler holds that it shows the heart, Maya, ol, within the body, making a rebus for mol.
9. Ch’en. This means a spring or well of water. The second sign shows a water jar bearing the sign of fluid, with reference to the sense of the word. The first is more complex. The main element is a face with a moan mouth, referring to water; for an eye the infix u, for month; and two prefixes, the sign of union (see p. 100), and above it what may be a variant of ben (see. 113).
10. Yax. The feather sign yax (see p. 94) is the superfix to the cauac sign, which carries the postfix ual, month.
11. Zac. This word means “white,” and this is here expressed by the cauac sign carrying as a superfix the north directive sign (see p. 109), as white was the color sacred to the North.
