NOTES:

1. 1.The sequence number of the named day in the Tzolk'in calendar
2. 2.Day name, in the standardized and revised orthography of the Guatemalan Academia de Lenguas Mayas
3. 3.An example glyph (logogram) for the named day. Note that for most of these several different forms are recorded; the ones shown here are typical of carved monumental inscriptions (these are "cartouche" versions)
4. 4.Day name, as recorded from 16th centuryYukatek Mayaaccounts, principallyDiego de Landa; this orthography has (until recently) been widely used
5. 5.In most cases, the actual day name as spoken in the time of the Classic Period (ca. 200–900) when most inscriptions were made is not known. The versions given here (inClassic Maya, the main language of the inscriptions) are reconstructed on the basis of phonological evidence, if available; a '?' symbol indicates the reconstruction is tentative.
