132 TRANSACTIONS OF THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE. [VoL. V1. 
a stone. Then ca combines with zch, the face. These make hunten- 
at one time, and chaac or chuuc, to take. Hence we may read: “ Cacul 
Nakhun, Wintk Vub ox ahauob Uaxac lukuh ox ahauob Chunbezah hunten 
chaac:” “The Chunbezah took at one time Cacul, Nakhun, and Winik 
Yub, three chiefs, three chiefs deserting Oaxaca.” 
A 15 consists of ca, 2, and a symbol for can, conversation, with 
plurality, making cacanob, which is the verb caran, to seek, hunt for. 
B 15 contains ahauob, and the sign of division, azc, in the plural; and 
C 15 appears to be ka-tun-ob. This short sentence is “caxranob ahauob, 
aicob katunob”: “The warriors search for the separating chiefs.” In 
D 15, may be recognized 4ab, the arm or hand, chup, the woman 
standing for czb, desire, ppoc, the hat, to represent pach, taking possession 
of, and ahauob. FE 15 consists of ov, 3, the conventional ca, and meex, 
the beard, making up yok kamah, on receiving or taking possession of. 
F 15 gives Oxlahun, wc, 7, and tok; and A 16, with ox, and /alel (see 
B 8), makes the postposition yoklal, by means of. Hence the whole 
is: “Keb ctb pach ahauob yok kamah Oxlahun hayac toc yoklal” : “On - 
capturing the chiefs cherishing evil desire, Oxlahun destroyed (them) by 
means of burning.” To destroy is ayal, past hayac, and foc is the verb, 
to burn. 
B 16 is waxaclahun, with zch, the face, but meaning in, and the first 
divides into waxac, Oaxaca, and /az, these w, their. In C 16, or stands 
for yok ; then comes hun, followed by a bird’s head, xw/ (see the month 
so named). The whole is yok hunkul, forever. The next, D 16, is 
kuxilek, followed by E 16, waxac ahauob. F 16 gives ox, 3, Fax, united, 
and ahauob; and A 17 is nak atcin-ob. These may give: “ Uarac lai 
u ich yok hunkul kuxilek Uaxac ahauob ox kax ahauob nakxicinob” : 
these are they in Oaxaca revolting from the lords of Oaxaca; (whom) 
the three united kings forever destroyed. B 17 seems made up of 02, 3, 
and hol, the head. The only Maya word known to the writer with 
which orhol at all agrees is wacchahal, to emerge forcibly. In C 17, 
capetchi seems to reappear, ciz denoting border, edge, as well as mouth, 
The next group, D 17 is unusual, but appears to be er Zokob Nakhun, in 
which case oxtok will consist of yok, over against, in front of, and Zoch, to 
contend, hence, an opponent. E 17 must be the same as C 17, capetcht, 
although more like cafethun ; and F 17 combines ca with the wing, xh, 
and the face, zch, to make the proper name Caxrtkich. Hence : “ wacchal 
Chunbezah yoktokob Nakhun Chunbezah Caxikich” : “ fled precipitately 
the leader of the rebels, Nakhun, and the leader, Caxikich.”
