K'ib' or Kib'

Two Tzolk'in names K'ib' and Kib' are used within this article - should there be only one spelling? Other pages in Wikipedia use Kib'. (Copyeditor42 (talk) 19:07, 17 September 2012 (UTC))

There are various spellings of these names in different references. According to the notes for the table - "Day name, in the standardized and revised orthography of the Guatemalan Academia de Lenguas Mayas" with a footnote referring to this document which appears not to be online. Presumably more than one spelling would be acceptable since these are spelled phonetically into the greek alphabet and there is no single Mayan language but for this article "k'ib'" would be correct. The apostrophe is a glottal stop, the b' is a bilabial b. Senor Cuete (talk) 14:57, 18 September 2012 (UTC)Senor Cuete
It looks like the Academy has a website: http://www.almg.org.gt/. Perhaps someone more fluent is Spanish than I could look for the Tzolk'in day names there. Senor Cuete (talk) 16:31, 18 September 2012 (UTC)Senor Cuete
