A Mayan Glyph

I was trying to dust off some of my books (mostly unread and completely unabsorbed) about the Maya Calendar, and ran across Mesoweb Resources, which includes a nice introduction to Mayan hieroglyphics in PDF form that you can download and study. Nifty.

There is no letter ‘r’. The Mayan glyphs aren’t alphabetic; they are syllabic. Meaning they convert to a syllable instead of a letter.
