 \section{Transcription of Maya signs}
 This work uses the long-standing convention for transcribing Maya signs (\cite{jamesjusteson1984}).
 \begin{itemize}
-    \item Transcriptions of logograms are written in uppercase, bold letters.
-          For example, \thompson{561} (\cref{fig:terminology-glyph-chan}) would be written as \logogram{CHAN}.
+    \item Transcriptions of logograms are written in uppercase, bold letters 
+          (e.g. \cref{fig:terminology-chak-balam}).
     \item Graphemes which represent syllables aka syllabograms are represented in 
-          lowercase, bold letters.
-          For example, \thompson{589} (\cref{fig:terminology-t589-t607}) would be written as \syllabogram{ho}.
+          lowercase, bold letters (e.g. \cref{fig:terminology-pa-ka-la}).
     \item Roman parenthesis enclose parts of a sign's transliteration which are not pronounced.
           For example, the name \emph{Pakal} when written with syllabograms only would be transliterated
           % LTeX: enabled=false
-          \syllabogram{pa}-\syllabogram{ka}-\syllabogram{l(a)}.
+          \syllabogram{pa}-\syllabogram{ka}-\syllabogram{l(a)} (\cref{fig:terminology-pa-ka-la}).
           % LTeX: enabled=true
     \item Question marks are placed after a transliterated syllabogram or a 
-          logogram when the reading is questionable or uncertain.
+          logogram when the reading is questionable or uncertain 
+          (e.g. \cref{fig:terminology-ta-ix-ajaw-wa}).
     \item Signs which do not appear in the text, but are reconstructed 
-          (e.g.\ contextually or by comparison of parallel texts), are preceded by an asterisk.
+          --- contextually or by comparison of parallel texts --- are preceded by an asterisk
+          (e.g. \cref{fig:terminology-ta-ix-ajaw-wa}).
     \item Fused signs are written in their-order of reading.
     \item Signs with infixed graphemes are written in their-order of reading and the infix is placed
           in square brackets.
-    \item Signs of unknown value are either represented by 
-          \begin{itemize}
-            \item Thomson code or
-            \item Codes of the revised version of Macri and Looper (\cite{macrilooper2003}) and 
-                  Macri and Vail (\cite{macrivail2009})
-            \item Catalog codes from ``Text Database and Dictionary of Classic Mayan'' (TWKM).
-          \end{itemize}
+    \item Signs of unknown value are either represented by Thompson codes or codes of the 
+          revised version of Macri and Looper (\cite{macrilooper2003}) and 
+          Macri and Vail (\cite{macrivail2009}) or by catalog codes from 
+          ``Text Database and Dictionary of Classic Mayan'' (TWKM).
