Here, in the same passage of the K'an Tok Tablet, we see the syllables spelling Toktan in the expected order, to-ko-tan. (The normal reading order for a glyph block is left-to-right, top-to-bottom, which in this case would result in K'UH(UL) AJAW-to-ko-tan. But the Maya changed the order under certain circumstances. Here the AJAW is read last.)
