| Here is the final piece of biographical information for Ahkal Mo' Nahb', a statement of his death from the Sarcophagus of Pakal. The right half of the glyph block is the spelling of his name, 'a-ku-(la) MO'-NAHB', that we have seen before, with the full form of the nahb' water lily to the right of the macaw beak (the water lily blossom appearing on top of the "spotted winal"). The left half of the glyph block has the verb 'OCH on top of the syllable b'i. In Mayan, 'och means "to enter", while b'ih means "road". "He entered the road" is a way of saying "he died". |
