CHAPTER V. 
THE NEW SYSTEM OF READING THE HIEROGLYPHICS: THE GROUPS 
ON THE RIGHT. 
Beginning with S 1, Cah Cawek appears, followed by ahpopf, T 1, and 
that by Oxlahun Pek ; but the bundle does double duty by standing for 
part of the Cachiquel king’s name, and for puch in puchtun, fighting. V 1 
unites the conventional ca with fu, a stone, to make katunob ; and W 1 
is already known as Uuclahun Cankaaxha, or, according to the Mexican, 
Zaachilla Cocyoéza. X 1 is easily read as can ahauob. InS 2, appears. 
a peculiar group, consisting of the conventional ca, and the head of a 
wild beast of savage aspect ; its name ought to be azkec or zchazk, and 
that of the tiger-cat is ekruk, which is not very discordant from the 
latter. It will, therefore, be necessary to correct F 17 by this and read 
Cakxikich as Caichxik. T 2 gives duduc, 11, and the oval inscribed 
dimly, which may be taken as pak rather than as fet, a circle. U 2 
contains dolon, the division, xzc, and the inscribed mzvyal or mol; and 
V 2 consists of ox, with muyal again, and pas, building. W 2 gives can, 
4, kax, united, and ahkauob: and X 2 is nak, the abdomen, with 09.
