Talk:Itzamnaaj Bʼalam II

Orthography changes
Just to note, I've amended the orthography from Itz'amná to Itzamnaaj, which is a more recent and common transcription closer to the modern orthography now widely used. Mayan doesn't use accented vowels, and tz' would be incorrect since the phoneme here is, not the ejective one.

One more point, I think that there is general acceptance there was at least one ruler who "officially" held power during the so-called 10-year interregnum between Itzamnaaj B'alam and Yaxun B'alam/Bird Jaguar (IV), so it wouldn't really be accurate to portray Yaxun B'alam as his successor. Inscriptions at Piedras Negras identify Yopaat B'alam II as ruler in Yaxchilan in 749. --cjllw ʘ  TALK 06:41, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
