| The war event verb associated with this date is in the top right of C1, the ax representing the word ch'akaj, "to chop or break up" (Schele 1995). The collocation just to the right of the ax has also been a problem in decipherment owing to its eroded condition. Finally Simon Martin looked at Maudslay's casts of the monument in the British Museum and read it as LAKAM-HA'. Lakam Ha' is the name of the flat area in the center of Palenque near the Palace (Schele and Mathews 1993). |
